He likes them in the "Skeleton" state. Now he wants this one covered since I've gotten back "into" this stye of modelling. I told him " You dope it and sand it, then I'll cover it." Well, here he is sanding. Guess I've got a covering job coming up! The drag is that it's already fully assembled. |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 03-Jul-09 16:59 |  | | Views : 1254 | | Instructions are quite implicit to insure correct washout. After making th shims, I matched the bottom of the airfoil profile on a sanding block (tounge depresser) and slightly sanded the shims so the trailing edge stock conforms to the airfoil shape during assy. |
