He likes them in the "Skeleton" state. Now he wants this one covered since I've gotten back "into" this stye of modelling. I told him " You dope it and sand it, then I'll cover it." Well, here he is sanding. Guess I've got a covering job coming up! The drag is that it's already fully assembled. |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 03-Jul-09 16:59 |  | | Views : 733 | | Instructions are quite implicit to insure correct washout. After making th shims, I matched the bottom of the airfoil profile on a sanding block (tounge depresser) and slightly sanded the shims so the trailing edge stock conforms to the airfoil shape during assy. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 03-Jul-09 16:54 |  | | Views : 869 | | Since the airfoil is semi semitrical, some jigs are in order. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 03-Jul-09 16:51 |  | | Views : 701 | | Here's what you get. Laser cut good quality Balsa (7 lbs density), bag of small goodies, pretty good Vac caonopy, high quality and informative plans, very nice instruction sheets, an initialed packing list(!) and Esaki tissue. |
