Resurrection Eagle II

My son showing more interest now. Wing coming along.

 

[dhal22]

A smile on my face as I see my son is doing this on his own. A little rough around the edges but to be expected.

 

[dhal22]

I can't get him to close the glue. So what....

 

[TonyHallo]

When you learn how to correct that behavior please let me know what to do as I have the same problem.

 

[Snoopy1]

The only time that gets corrected is when they are on there own and have to buy the glue them selves..

 

[dhal22]

He's making some progress.

 

[dhal22]

A few mistakes here and there. 1/16 balsa breaks easy.

 

[Snoopy1]

Working 1/16 balsa takes skill and a lot of practice. Not easy on open surfaces.
One thing I really miss is having 2mm thick balsa wood. I would normally buy some when I was traveling but seeing that I have retired I just cannot buy 2mm balsa wood in the USA. It is perfect thickness little more than 1/16 but a little less than 3/32.
