IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
A flat, durable, easy to handle sanding tool is a necessity
for building a well finished model. Great Planes makes a
complete range of Easy-Touch Bar Sanders and
replaceable Easy-Touch Adhesive-Backed Sandpaper.
While building the Ryan STA EP, we used two 5-1/2" Bar
Sanders and two 11" Bar Sanders equipped with 80-grit
and 150-grit Adhesive-backed Sandpaper.
Here’s the complete list of Easy-Touch Bar Sanders and
Adhesive Backed Sandpaper:
