I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I had 15 minutes between coming home from dropping my wife at work and leaving for a dentist appointment so I decided to do the other side of the fuselage. I used some laminated blade tools from another kit as guides to make sure the other half of the formers were in alignment. They happened to be in my building supply carrier but crafter's Popsicle sticks work just as well. I clamped them to the already aligned former with clothes pins, laid the half former against the guides, used a small Scuncii hair clip to clamp it down and applied glue. I find that the little Scuncii hair clips make very useful low pressure clamps.

There is a local FAC contest (Squadron 69) this Sunday for WWI (Mass Launch), Embryo, and Half Wakefield. I have my own Embryo, and have no plans to build a Half Wakefield, but thought I had a qualifying WWI model. (Let me rephrase that comment about the Half Wakefield. I have several plans for them I just don't plan to build one.) Anyway, I found that my ancient WWI model was in no condition to be restored, let alone fly, so I decided to build a new one for the contest. I had a #202, SE5A, kit on the shelf so I decided to build that "box stock" (Will have removable nose block, more aggressive prop, reinforced landing gear, F.A.I. Tan rubber, and colored tissue but other than that stock.) for the contest. It's not the most competitive choice, they fly much better than one might think and, I've seen them do quite well in competition. I started it about a half hour before I had to leave to pick up my wife this evening. I was using a right angle tool left over from another kit for alignment, odorless CA glue, and kicker. The photo shows how far I got.

Rigging: this is the ideal RAFer flat wire rigging we've all been waiting for. We have two basic sizes: .4mm and .8 mm, in my opinion, the .8mm is the best choice for our biplane models for those who wish to go the extra distance in detailing. They're very flexible, have already been annealed and very easy to cut and stretch. No stress imposed on the stick-n-tissue types.

I ordered the 50' roll and got the 100' roll instead. Good deal
