How to: Profile & Sand a Balsa Wing - Balsa Plane Building

[@Alanfarmer86]

I'm in the states and I think bullnose is an acceptable way to describe the leading edge profile of a wing. But I could be wrong as well 😂 Great video as always Mark.

Hi Mark. My wife has said to me on many occasions. Don't you get fed up with all that sanding. But I find it very therapeutic. After all how can she sit there night after night knitting. Thanks again Mark.

Hahaha, totally agree, sanding is good for the soul, and an important part of modelling,Thanks for the comment

We use the term bullnose in the USA to describe a rounded edge, for example of a tile or countertop.

Hi @MarkRobinson555 did you end up linking how to make your simple sanding blocks? Cheers

At video position 8:37, why don't you put a piece of paper or adhesive tape on the area of the sanding block that is not supposed to sand the cap strips and the planking? This is easier than taping off all parts of the wing that should not be sanded.

[@MarkRobinson555]

It may be easier to tape off the sander, but i find taping the structure gives better results and is easier working, but what ever works for you 😀

[@FMo01]

​@@MarkRobinson555 Yes, that's right, sanding is easier with the structure masked. By the way, your airplane building videos are the best I've seen so far, great work.
