| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 04-Jul-09 10:05 |  | | Views : 1119 | | Dumas Stinson Reliant I built for my Dad a couple years back over a period of a year or two. 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. |

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. |
