5 steps to clean wings: Inlay balsa sheeting

Model Airplane News, Jan 1998 by Randolph, Randy

Even if the ribs are trimmed before they are mounted onto the spars, it's difficult to get just the right amount of material removed from the top and bottom of those center ribs.

A method suggested by Canadian John Hannah solves the problem simply and easily: don't trim the ribs! The photos show the way.
