Hi Steve,
A few people answered. Yours is the most complete, though. Nice tip
on the compressed air.
Thank you!
Ron.

Ron,
Don't know if you got an answer? This is how I did it.
Using a small block plane I ROUGHED the edges. Don't take off more than you
need! Then I used a 2 x 4 with sandpaper spray mounted to it and the ran it
up and down the fuselage. When you start to make contact with the cross
members you stop. I used a metal straight edge and kept a sharp eye on the
progress. I don't recall it taking much time to complete this task. MOST
IMPORTANT and ALWAYS when sanding any wood that will receive glue. Use
compressed air (Nozzle held close to wood) and clean up the sanded areas.
This will help in opening the pores in the wood to assist with the glue
penetration. Hope that helped.

Very Interesting Virgil,
I had very briefly considered the same thing, but I knew I was
etting ahead of myself. So, I must ask. Did it cause any unexpected
onstruction or flight complications? If you had it to do over again, would
ou still build the sides @ 90 deg.? Have any pictures of the finished plane
could look over?
Thank you,
on Tyler

On my KR-1, I sanded everything flat. The KR-2, I made the sides 90
eg. to the bottom, Virg
