First mark out where the carbon stiffeners need to be cut so the carbon strip can be

attached to the EPP fuselage, either below (as I did) , or above between the wing and

fuselage. You may need to a cut a slot in the EPP fuselage to avoid the carbon being bent (if

it does it will bend the EPP fuselage!).

Note: The carbon strip extends so it can be glued to the fuselage bottom surface.

You may need to trim a little off the trailing edge to get a clean sharp edge that s a little thicker than the 2mm ailerons I removed a little after covering the bottom with film so there was a straight edge for the ailerons and then added the top film Start by rounding off the wing tips using sandpaper A 30mm diameter is a good guide Make sure both wings are the same Make up a small peg eg carbo...
