| 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. |

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

| The wing spars are also all 1/16" square. The trailing edge is 1/8" X 1/16". The leading edge is standard size, but much lighter wood. |
