After a full day of honeydews (not the melons,) I can finally dedicate a few minutes to the Jayhawk Deluxe.
In step 7 of the instructions it states: "If you do not feel comfortable tapering the fins then round the leading edge of all wings and fins". Sheesh! On my worse day I can scrape a taper into a stinking fin! How think do they drunk I am?
The full-size fin pattern sheet shows how much to taper the fins and winglets. Using the outside measuring jaws of the dial caliper, I pierce tiny marks into the balsa at (2) places on each edge at the correct distance. I then simply draw a line across the marks to indicate the bevel line.
I'll start with the winglets. Using the Corian slab that's covered with 220 grit, I scrape only the outer edges of the leading edges of the winglets.
I think I've had too much Scotch. I'll do the rest of the bevels tomorrow.
Time for some Scotch. Good night! TBC
