Won't need strength in this area. The planking will add greatly to that plus fiberglassing.

A single piece cut to fit.

**StevenRB** · 29 October 2020, 22:02

Installed piece.

**StevenRB** · 29 October 2020, 22:03

Another spot for a custom piece.

**StevenRB** · 29 October 2020, 22:04

Here's the piece.

Glued in and now to make up some balsa dust and CA to use as a filler.

**StevenRB** · 29 October 2020, 22:06

Making dust.

**StevenRB** · 29 October 2020, 22:06

Filler added and CA glue.

One side completed.

**StevenRB** · 29 October 2020, 22:10

The other side.

I'll be using lightweight spackle to begin leveling out the surfaces.

**StevenRB** · 29 October 2020, 22:12

You can see half the nacelle is covered with spackle.
