I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Having "survived" 42 days of radiation treatments, I'm hopefully back up to speed. Silver Monkote, which has been sanded with either 360 grit W&D or 800 grit W&D has been applied with the "grain" running in differnent directions to try to simulate dissimilar panels. Takes a little time to cut out all of the panels.

All of the pieces are finally together. Used a canopy off of a Guillows T-bolt. Haven't decided on the scheme yet. One of the other RCr's wants me to put MonoKote on it. Never done that before. Hmmm.

This is how I terminated the ends of the planks that met on the centerline. When attaching the planks, I applied a bead of thinned titebond glue to one mating edge with a small paintbrush the placed a dab of medium viscosity CA to each former and squeezed the planks tight and pinned them. The medium viscosity CA (gap-filling) gives you enough time to lay the plank on and pin it. If you don't dawdle :-)

The bevels are switched on alternating strips. I made some planks that were over 20 inches long for the P-47.

Here is the angle achieved for the planking. BTW, depending on how big of radius the former has, you can strip the balsa up to 3/8" wide. The piece shown is about 3/16" wide.

Gives you a cutting angle like such.

Anyway: Hot-glues a piece of 1/8" X 1/4" to the base of the balsa stripper.
