Another coat of white primer on the canard. New can of Rustoleum primer, and about 20 minutes after putting on the layer I turn around and there are all these horizontal cracks that have opened up in the finish. Maybe I put it on too thick? Oh well... yet another coat that will get sanded off 90%.
Drilling holes in the rear ribs for the arrow shaft to go through. I don't think I'm going to need to leave this rear spar in here once the fan fold foam sheeting is in place, but it will be necessary for keeping the hotwire templates aligned and prevent some really awkward wing twisting during the cut.
Gluing on the trailing edge piece.
And preparing the templates with aluminum tape edging and nails sticking out the front and back as guide rails for the hot wire.
After further checking, I don't have a hotwire big enough to cut this panel after all, so this part of construction will need to wait till I borrow Carl's hotwire on Thursday.
This gives me a couple days to try and get the finish where I like it on the one canard I'm doing now, and maybe switch gears and put some covering on the Mini Telemaster for a couple nights.
