Sheeting wings-Elan

[NSRCA West District]

Hi Jerry,

I sheet over everything and then when dry, just hold the wing up to a light and you can see the cutout very nicely. Mark & cut out the correct side!!!! I personally build the servo boxes after I cut out the servo hole. I find I can get an easy, very solid box support by running the balsa box sides & ends up from the bottom of the servo box and let them stand proud of the wing shape. Sand flush for a perfect box. For what it's worth here's some pictures:

  Raining here in Houston, so today I'm going to sheet the foam wings on my
  Elan (one of them anyway).  Just wondering about sheeting over the retract
  block and wheel well, & aileron servo mount. Do you just measure their
  location, then after sheeting go back and find them and cut out the
  sheeting?

  thanks,

  Jerry Wilson
