Couple tips, I just maidened my first carden this weekend, On the wing if you put the root cap on first sand it flush then sheet you get a stronger joint and you get rid of seams and potential wrinkles in the covering. Good luck with the kit, hope you enjoyed it as much as i did. |

OK I have the leading and trailing edges to shape and ready for sanding. Also have cutout the Aileron and started glueing the leadind edge on to it. when it dries overnight I will bevel the edges for the hinge line. I noticed a slight bow of the trailing edge aileron. Anyone have a suggestion on that or is it normal with such a long surface?
