| In build #1, the plans called for a single piece wing assembly. The A-1 calls for separate wings glued to the fuselage. Separate wings was definitely easier to attach to the fuse, but I wonder what will happen in the 1st crash. I can foresee some major damage to the fuse. |

| I wasn't happy with the spar-type wingtps on my first plane, so I wanted to try solid wingtips on build #2. I built up the wingtips with balsa strip, sanded the horizontal/vertical axis to match the surrounding profile, then finished up by sanding to blend the profiles. |

| Vertical stabilizer prior to the spars being trimmed. Although not seen in this picture, excess material from the fillets has also been removed. |

| Horizontal stabilizer. Not sure if you can see this, but sanded ends of 1/16" spars to match the thickness of the kit parts |
