S45 Construction sanding stringers P05
"John Fisher" is building Star 45's. He has provided a series of photographs taken as he builds the model from scratch.
Photo shows the close stringer sanded to fit the side and the back stringer still need to be sanded. John used a sanding block and sand the sides to match the bottom curve. Balsa sands really easy so this is pretty quick. He used 220 grit paper.
