Default RE: Phoenix 6 - Start # 2

Back to it. A little time in shop today, doing some holiday running, company coming, may hinder some work here. Yesterday, I secured the 1/2" stock to the TE. This piece set's above the core, and you have to sand the lip off, to even. The skin will set right across this, top and bottom, aileron butt up against it.
As you can see, rested in cradle, 2" blue tape, sanding bar, you can sand it off to dimension's of the piece. I am sanding this off across the grain, letting the bar slide flat off the tape. After this, finish lengthwise, for exact match to TE. This will then be set in other cradle, finish other side. Look at the last picture, you can see this stock exactly matche's the core at area. Cap the tip's, sheet, get some retract work done. Picture #4, a straight edge is set across the core and TE stock, all even.
I had to get another piece of glass, can't find the old one, to have a flat piece for rolling the LE into the skin.
Say tuned,
Crank
