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!
