I am ready to install my WAF. Should I do anything to seal the wood under the
WAF's?

First Congrates! You must be on cloud nine..er maybe 10!
Joe, how long is your fuselage? Is it standard KR2S length? Did you use the
"new airfoil" and the 1 degree incidence? If so, what is the incidence of your
HS? I'm getting close to building my HS, and am wondering how I will set it.

So I was thinking of drilling all the WAF holes and coating the surface with
aeropoxy, also the bolts (not the threads) and assembling while uncured. This
would cement the WAF to the spar.
Is there anything wrong with this method?
