Hey gang, I'm having some difficulty joining the sides of the fuselage together. I originally wanted to go a few inches wider, but could barely get the fuse to bend to begin with, so I'm back to plan width (sucks, but it'll have to do). Now, when I bend, it bananas (as expected, but in doing

This also brings up a question I'm havingI was a bit sloppy with the T-88 after gluing, and I'm wondering how y'all get rid of the excess glue once it has dried in place. Should I sand it? If so, what grit is best? Nick Brennan nickdbren...@comcast.net - Original Message - From

Lets just go hypothetical for second (because I'd never do this, of course)... Let's say you epoxied a clamp into place by accident. How would you remove the clamp from the longeron without damaging either (but if one needs to be damaged, preferrably the clamp. Nick Brennen
