Remove canard from the foam
board sheet. Familiarize yourself
with the required bevels in the
diagram above. Break open the
elevators and center trailing
section. Cut a 45° bevel on the
elevators and peel out the foam
strip in the center section area.
Also cut a 45° bevel at the leading
edge of the lower skin. Peel away
the paper from the bevel areas on
the upper skins and sand these to
a knife edge bevel. Check your
work against the diagram, and
don’t glue the skins down yet.
