With the tape removed, light sanding and some filler blend it in with the leading edge.

Just like surgery, the piece is masked to allow sanding and shaping.

A notch was cut from the leading edge and the scoop is glued in place.

Using tracing paper, I traced the scoop outline and then turned the paper over and traced it onto harder 3/32" stock with a pen. Remove the paper and outline the pattern with the pen. The rounded tip of the pen and a small amout of pressure "cuts" the outline into the wood which makes removal of the center wood easier.

Extra wood at the ends make for easier shaping and smoother covering.

The fin frame is the same construction as the stabilizer. The rudder is 1/16" balsa center and the ribs are also 1/16". I got this idea from the big Top Flite kits.
