I decided to add the cockpit coaming now so's I wouldn't punch my fingers through covering. |

Mock-up. Fuselage stringers doubled as are ribs on tailfeathers. The cockpit floorboards and instrument panel are in place. |

On the outer wing panels, I doubled the number of ribs, while leaving the spar notches on the kit's ribs in place, I re-cut all to accept a 1/8"x1/4" basswood spar. I also built with no dihedral on either wing to match the real one. |
