Default RE: Kombat Kid Flying Wing Build

OK guys, I was looking back through my thread and guess what I forgot to add.... shear webs.

As the pics show, I like to cut strips of vertical grain balsa to height first (1.25" in this case), then mark, cut, and glue each one individually for the closest possible fit between the ribs - this is how they're most effective. I'll even cut them a tad long so that they bow slightly and need to be compressed to be glued down - with a bit of practice, it's easy to get the fit "just right".
