Pete,
this is how I built my two Victors:
after sending, spray the wing area with a little 3M77. let dry and carefully position
the glass cloth. apply 30min epoxy with a
small brush.
My Victor took a lot of abuse and the wing is still in one piece. It has actually
sliced a few balsa wings in mid air and only gain
a few minor scratch. People actually try to stay away from it now.
However, for a plane with such strong wing, it has very very weak tail. what do you
expect for this price...
