Honker hints

[speed2004]

Make sure you install the pushrods before sheeting top and bottom. Very difficult to do afterwards as the holes are tiny!

Using parchment paper under wing while building keeps it from sticking to board. Use CA sparingly as to not get a "hard spot" on the wing joint so sanding isn't uneven, especially if covering rather than painting.

Use of a spray gun to put a light coat of Minwax WATER based polyurethane and sanding will make a painted wing/fuselage much lighter as the paint doesn't soak in and warp the wing. Deluxe Materials brand EZE-dope or EZE-coat also works well for this.
