AFTER. What do you think? I think it's still curved. I put 1/16 balsa on the right side looking aft, If I put another1/16 there I think it wouldn/t look right. What do you think John and Poppy and DD |

Cut the fuse two strips back from the pit. Make a former circle and taper itlike a wedge. Glue the whole thing back straight. Fill and sand and it will be beautious! |

The second or the third, It looks like after the 3rd former is where it starts to curve. How much of a wedge, about 3/16 or 1/8? |

Honestly, I think I would just start sanding and filling. The top former (between the 1 and 2 inch marks, looks out of alignment relative to the rest and that can be compensated for. I suggest you sand down the front sheeting to be level with the former and then see how it looks. I personally would not keep trying to straighten the fuse but rather think about adapting the other structures to it. |

I'm with you David. I don't think it's that bad. And, as you told me the other day, it's about practice and learning. I just air brushed 3 coats of sanding sealer, when that dries, I'll start filling and sanding. |

Gee...wish I had an air brush!!! Willie there are more than one way to fix thi minor problem but I sincerely thick that dipping the fuse in sealer will not help. |

Sincerely think...that is! |
