Shaping the Wing
Remove the entire wing core from the 3/16”
balsa sheet. The wing features an etched
“high point” sanding guide on the top surface
and pre cut dihedral breaks. The dihedral
breaks are partially cut through and retained
with thick skip lines that run across the grain
DO NOT SEPARATE THE WING SECTIONS
.
Begin by shaping the wing as one unit using a
sanding block and / or a razor plane to
produce a flat taper from the etched “high
point” aft to the trailing edge. Next round the
wing from the high point forward to the leading
edge. Use the sanding guide below as a
reference. We suggest leaving the trailing
edge 1/32” thick for maximum durability.

cutting skip lines that retain the sections.
