For all those proud builders who have dropped their fuselage on the floor  |:-(

How does one repair the ding?  I have been told:
1.  roughen the ding and surround (1 inch)
2.  fill ding with micro, sand smooth to contour to surface
3.  overlay roughened area with layers of uni that mimic the weave used in
fuselage construction
4.  after all's dry, on with the filler to fill weave and blend into the
surface.

Does this sound OK by the collective wisdom?  (PS- factory has so far sat on
my fax for 11 days.  Come on guys, if you're watching)

Also, what cloth is used in fuselage construction and what orientation?

Regards,

John Bampfylde, #130
