thanks, mdmorgan37. i already have sanded it close & used hobbylite to fill any void . i like the planking. you can leave the wood high & have enough to sand to get it uniform & smooth. plus the balsa sheets you buy are so much softer & workable. how many coats & what grit do you sand to. thanks, steve

once you sand that off your fuse wil come to life an take shape. hobbielite will sand real for you dont have to use no more then 280 grit to get it down. an for the color it doent matter doent matter you should primer over it before you paint. the squadren green just shows all the boo boos you made while planking.if have look at alot of picutre on here you noticed that when people here that use hobbielite because of it lite brown color you cant see an there flawes an mistake in builind. dont get me wrong on that there are some real professional on here that been at this for quit some time an dont make to many mistake, but know how to hide them.i think that there are misleading picture on build that you dont see

I wonder if you could put a few drops of food coloring in the water when you thin out the filler...dunno if it would have any adverse effects on the wood though. Any thoughts?

Generally the "L" parts are fillers for the fuselage and that's what this is. The hole is, as Steve M says, where the wire would go for movable elevators.

If all else fails, call Guillow's on Monday and ask.

I am pretty sure its a brace, an opening would not be numbered.

Looks like a passage for the wire that holds the elevator halves together (if making movable tail surfaces).
