I am a great admirer of your work and all of the other folks on this site as well. Would you mind telling me to what parts you apply the adhesive and which adhesive works best for you. I am in the middle of my first build, the Guillow 400 Warhawk. |

| poppy | 22-Mar-08 16:02 | | For wings, I glue sheets together on a flat surface to get proper width, then sand joint smooth. I glue the leading edge first, let dry, the apply cement to ribs and stringers and trailing edge. Fold sheet over and and using the palms of my hands, I press to contour and hold until glue sets. It takes about 5-7 minutes. I've tried pinning and taping in place, but the old hands just give me better control. |
