Wingus Interruptus
« on: May 18, 2018, 06:50:53 PM »
I know there's a secret trick, there just has to be.  So, when in doubt, grovel and ask the experts.

OK, here goes.

When running those nice multicolored accent stripes from the spinner area back to the tail, when you get to the wing, the wing gets in the way.  How do you maintain that nice flat, perfectly straight line while working around the surface of the wing?  It's not like you can just run a straight edge from front to back. 

I'm about to attempt one and honestly don't have a clue.  I've seen so many done so beautifully and want to as least get in the ballpark on straightness.

Thanks

Vince

You could consider a laser level. It can project a nice straight line through the plane of the wing or stab, etc.
Helps with the alignment when building as well.
