| Well, the fuselage has finally got enough structure that I can handle it without breaking something. This has been one of the most maddening models I have built. I'm beginning to wonder if I no longer have the manual dexterity to build with "contest grade" (I.e. 4 to 6 pound/cu ft) wood. The fuselage is still sub 2 grams here. |

| At least it's light. The wings have not been trimmed or sanded here, but are still sub two grams per panel. I'm beginning to worry about just how much rubber it will take. |

| Keeping it light, I am using much thinner outlines for the fuselage. |
