Can anyone tell me specifically how to tell how closely a wing is following its intended shape or to know if it has "issues"? Also, if I'm sanding, polishing or refinishing it, how do I accurately correct for any deficiencies? Asking for a friend... : )


Please see the linked facebook page from AlphaZulu Composites in Kingman, AZ: https://www.facebook.com/AlphaZuluComposites/

Scroll down a bit to see pictures and description of how Paul Gaines fabricated templates and refinished the leading edges on my Ventus 2c a few years back.
