    Fillets for fighters.

    Ever wondered how to get nice fillets on your low wing fighter ? get some Bond paper from a stationers ( high quality writing paper no lines ) now get a piece of sorbo rubber,for this carpet underlay will do fine,now with a rolling pin roll over the paper against the sorbo rubber,you will find that by adjusting the pressure you can make beautiful cures,now make a tracing from your model of the root fillet shape,transfer this to the bond paper,run Uhu stick around the area you wish to apply the fillet,place pre-formed fillet in place,result a lovely shaped fillet that will also serve to butt your tissue covering onto.

    To stiffen up the fillet prior to tissue covering surrounding area paint with thinned PVA glue.
