Ron,
Don't know if you got an answer? This is how I did it.
Using a small block plane I ROUGHED the edges. Don't take off more than you
need! Then I used a 2 x 4 with sandpaper spray mounted to it and the ran it up
and down the fuselage. When you start to make contact with the cross members
you stop. I used a metal straight edge and kept a sharp eye on the progress. I
don't recall it taking much time to complete this task. MOST IMPORTANT and
ALWAYS when sanding any wood that will receive glue. Use compressed air (Nozzle
held close to wood) and clean up the sanded areas. This will help in opening
the pores in the wood to assist with the glue penetration. Hope that helped.

Very Interesting Virgil,
I had very briefly considered the same thing, but I knew I was
etting ahead of myself. So, I must ask. Did it cause any unexpected
onstruction or flight complications? If you had it to do over again, would
ou still build the sides @ 90 deg.? Have any pictures of the finished plane
could look over?
Thank you,
on Tyler

On my KR-1, I sanded everything flat. The KR-2, I made the sides 90
eg. to the bottom, Virg
