You need an awful lot of bending, on those already laminated sides. Unfortnately, mine did not bend in at exactly the same rate, and it's slightly off scew now. Also, the stress on that F2 is so great that it actually split the wood on the 1/8th sq balsa upright. It's a good idea to soak these in CA once it's in place to make them a bit stronger. |
