Thanks Cliff, appreciate the comment. Yes could do it before, but I always do after as I see it as part of the sanding and finishing process, so you can see the whole process in the round 😀
I love the scalloped blocks at the front of the stringers there Mark. This stringer thinning, is it something you incorporated into you first Avanti build, or is it a technique you developed after looking at it complete?
Useful tip Mark,simple but very effective that plane is brilliant could be my next attempt , what size motor would you recommend I will be looking at your original build series for sure 👌 Thanks
Thank you for the comment, pleased you enjoyed it. Certainly needs a 60 size engine, I think My Irvine 61 is ideal, even if you do need a shoehorn to get it in! Hahaha
Good tip,.but taking a scalpel like that and trying to cut a sliver off on a already installed piece of balsa seems super sletch for me. Personally, Id rather just use a sanding block and knock off the edges of the stringers. Far less of a chance of slipping and screwing up. Anyhoo, nice to see people still actually build rc planes, becoming a lost art for sure.
Thank you for the comment and your thoghts, just need to be a bit carful of sanding in a situation like this as you may hit and damage the cross formers.
Love your skills, but I would be utterly crushed trying to do that! So I take the easy and much stronger route, SQUARE CARBON FIBER! --- 1/8 or less ! Cheers!!
Thank you for the kind comment, greatly appreciated. Just be wary of using carbon fibre in a situation like this as it may show black, or at least much darker than the surrounding balsa, through the covering film, particularly if its a lighter colour film.
Wow - I admire your skill immensely - free-hand scalpel work - this is true balsa surgery. 👍
Thank you very much for your very kind comment, really pleased you enjoy the videos
always a school day! nice instructive video over my breakfast coffee-Thanks
Pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment 😊
Greetings from Alberta, Canada. Love your videos and I too like aircraft models with stringers. Cheers.
Glad you like them, appreciate the comment
Wow! Wonderful looking build 👌
Thank you 😀
Hi Mark. Another enjoyable video. It really is a great looking aircraft.
Many thanks! Appreciate the comment 😀
Good tip Mark, I suppose one could take off the majority before fitting 🤔👍

Hi there,thanks for the comment, it's appreciated. I did a similar thing on the first Avanti as well 😀
