Don't trust plans! I built the fin as per the plans. When doing some color research tonignt I discovered that the A1E's fin makes a smooth transition to fuselage. Too late to fix without a major rework. UGH!!

This is how I skin all my "metal skinned" models.

Starting at spar, apply glue to every other stringer and trailing edge and to ribs at each end. Gently fold sheet over contour, pressing with both hands till it smoothly fits, then pin trailing edge till dry.

Use a good grade 1/32" sheet balsa. cut to fit inside leading edge and overlapping trailing edge by 1/4", apply glue to l/e and pin sheet in place. Let dry about 30 min.

Pinning at trailing edge and each extra strip, also at tip, I glue all edges from the top, leaving the leading edge till last after all have dried.

3 1/16 X 1/8 stringers glued to top of lower ribs ending at rib 6. This will give a curved airfoil on bottom. Ending stringers at rib 6 allows 1/16 sheet to flatten out at tips.

1 1/2" dihedralfor scale (plans calls for 2" for flying model).

3 extra stringers added to rear of wing for strength(plan calls for none).
