Page 4: General Building Tips
General Building Tips • READ THE INSTRUCTIONS all the way through and study the plans BEFORE starting any work on the model. • PRE-SANDING: BEFORE removing any parts from the balsa sheets, use a sanding block with 320 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the back of the balsa sheets. Our balsa suppliers have been sending us wood that is over sized, so sanding the backs of the balsa sheets reduces the thickness just slightly and removes any charring from the laser cutting process. - Page 5 1. Slide the 4 ea. W5 ribs, W6 rib, and W7 rib onto the LEFT side of the spars, W1 and W2. Be careful with W6 and W7 since the spars do not rest on your table there.
