David Duckett | 17-Dec-07 17:49 | OK, so I do have some help.... |
moostang51 | 17-Dec-07 18:34 | Those nacelles should glue up nicely. What is that, 1/8 sheet stock to fill in before sanding? Some technique on the underside? |
David Duckett | 17-Dec-07 19:08 | It's 3/32" and is duplicated on the bottom. |
sly812 | 18-Dec-07 06:06 | Hi DD, I notice that your leading edges are not formed yet, do you find that it is easier to sand them after??? |
David Duckett | 18-Dec-07 06:59 | Much easier!! The instructions say you MUST taper and shape the leading edge before installing it but I don't agree. Tapering is a must but trying to carve it into a rounded shape is a nightmare. As it is here, I've used a xacto to match the LE to the curvature of the ribs and then sanded it. Now the remaining shaping can easily be done with a sanding block and very little carving will be required. |
