Kevin,

In addition to all the tips you'll find/get, this is a great product for the
curved surfaces of a Lancair (see attached picture).

http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1693&itemType=PRODUCT

It has three metal rods that are inserted to adjust the stiffness for a
particular task.  They make a smaller/shorter one also.  I've found
Eastwood's sandpaper to be pretty good quality and much cheaper than the
expensive 3M stuff.

However, you'll want a more rigid sanding board for the flat areas (and/or
areas only curved on one plane - like the wing skins).

Also if it wasn't reference in Alan's post, be sure to read the "finishing a
composite airplane" article at
