Razor plane takes a bit. Once you figure it out it becomes your go to tool for stuff like that.

There are two tools that I need when building is a razor plane and a dremel, with out those two I would not be happy.

I even had to break out my angled Dremel head the other night for a tight drilling spot. I would have been lost without it.

Made enough balsa curls tonight to fill a Walmart bag. Time to break out the sandpaper. But that's going to have to wait for better weather. I don't want all that dust in the shop. Hopefully this weekend I can finish up the wing.

Just wait 5 minutes!!

Well, I had hoped to have the wing in one piece this weekend but it didn't happen. But I did get quite a few things accomplished. Leading and trailing edges are done, wing rough sanded, ailerons shaped, sanded and hinge holes drilled. Elevator and horizontal stab are shaped, sanded and hinge holes drilled. Probably some more stuff I'm forgetting.
Not what I had hoped for but progress is progress!

Started glueing in the dihedral brace tonight. Using 30 minute epoxy so it's going to take a while to get the two wing halves joined.

Ah yeah! But even taking a little time is better than making no progress at all. Right?

Rome wasn't built overnight, and neither was the Robinhood!
