Hi Al,
After looking back over the pics in your most recent post, I would like to know what material you used for your fillets.
Thanks!

Mr Rabe????

I use carved and hollowed balsa fillets at the wing. The stab fillets are built up 1/16" balsa. The canopy is blended to the fuselage with Hobbylite and covered with glass cloth and thin epoxy glue as Hobbylite is light, sands easy, but has no strength.

Thanks, Al.
I am not familiar with Hobbylite. (??)
I do like the idea, now, of using balsa fillets!
