| The infill method came about naturally with me but it is a Cleveland idea from many years ago. |

WING SHEETING WITH 1/32" BALSA - FIRST ATTEMPT - TOP AND BOTTOM |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Image # 37298 | 26 Nov 16 12:39 |
THE TEN LAYERS OF 1/32" BALSA RECTANGLES FOR EACH OF THE THREE BLADES WERE ALL PAINTED WITH ACRYLIC "CINNAMON" COLOR TO REPRESENT THE WOOD GRAIN, AND WERE ALL ALLOWED TO DRY BEFORE WHITE GLUING THE STACKS TOGETHER, ONE STACK FOR EACH BLADE, AND CLAMPING THE THREE STACKS SEPARATELY, AND WAITED A FEW DAYS FOR IT ALL TO DRY - THE WHITE GLUE DISAPPEARS. THEN I CARVED OUT THE BLADES, SANDED THEM, AND STAINED THEM "GOLDEN OAK" COLOUR. AND CLEAR COATED WITH KRYLON CLEAR GLOSS. |

IN FACT, IT WAS NOT USUALLY A MATCH FOR EVEN THE FIRST GENERATION OF ALLIED FIGHTERS. |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Image # 37287 | 26 Nov 16 11:40 |
THE LARGE SINGLE FLOAT AND WING PONTOONS DEGRADED ITS PERFORMANCE BY 20%, AND SINCE IT HAD NO ARMOUR, IT WAS NO MATCH FOR THE AMERICAN FIGHTERS THAT WERE ARMOURED. |
