Built my first DTFB plane from plans - a Viggen (I'll buy kits from here on out, though!). First flight was not completely successful but the repairs were quick! What I'd like to see is a segment about treating FB edges, with closeups of the finished products to determine if I'm the only one who's messy with hot glue. I'd like to see:
* Glueing a skewer to an edge. My small test was OK, but needed too much cleanup;
* How to taper or round an edge, if possible, to eliminate the square cut. I tried the hot iron technique but the foam created a bulge behind the taper;
* Any other edge treatments that have worked.
Thanks.
