 Hi all, This is my first ever build of this kind so taking things slowly. I have infilled with balsa from bow to stern(as per mikes instructions - bless him), what I need to find out is this: does the fairing on ribs 5,6 and 7 have to be quite heavy as my bow looks very bulbous at the moment.

Delboy, you are almost there...don't take any more of the front. You are taking it down to give you a smooth flowing surface across all of the ribs... take a look at my build post 117 and you should see what I am referring to.... the bow is quite bulbous as you will see... If you are still unsure then wait for Mr T's official build and the mag instructions to explain how to complete the task of fairing the hull....
Hope this helps.
Regards
Alan
