Does anyone have any diagrams or pictures of how to build wing to fuselage fairings? I'm building a 60 size Killer Kaos and thinking of building them into the wing sadle. More Super Kaos or Mustang like. I really don't want to carve them out of solid blocks. The cowl and wing tips is wearing me out. My least favorite thing of building is carving. :-/
Thanks,

If you can find an instruction book for the Ultrasport, it should be in there. You might check out the Ultrasport build thread, too. I don't know for sure, but it's likely covered somewhere there. All you really need are a piece of thin plywood for the base (i.e. the part that rests on top of the wing and extends a little toward the back), some pieces of scrap balsa to give you roughly the shape, some filler, and a curved sanding block

Go to my Deception build under the classic pattern site, page three. This is how I make all my fillets. It works well, fast and strong.
Fillets do make a plane look and fly better.

Here is the method I use. It is part of a LaGG 3 build I posted on RCScalebuilder. Just used it again on two D3A1 Val dive bombers. http://www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/...G+3&PN=0&TPN=6 I estimate I have about 4 hours labor to complete the fillets on the Vals.
