Starting to wonder if I really do want clear windows.

I thought I could cover the access hatch with Solite, but as you can so it just doesn't stick so I'll have to use spray paint.

I like how it turned out here at the fuselage exit point.

The LHS carries much of the Model Shipways products so I grabbed this 0.028" Nylon rigging line to use for my pull-pull rudder so as no not use up any of the kit supplied rigging line in case there wasn't enough provided for both uses.

Small pieces of Sullivan cable tubing guide the rudder pull-pull lines where they exit the fuselage. The plans give no guidance on this exit so I borrowed ideas from the builds of others.

Thread is temporary till I find something more suitable. Brass rod provieds a means to tighten and rough trim.

Everything seems to fit together nicely. The directions say that the next step is to cover, but I need to figure out the rudder pull-pull lines first. The directions never address installing the pull-pull lines. Weight as shown here is 8.65 oz.

This being my second Dumas kit I was prepared for incorrect and incomplete instructions, but I wasn't ready for so many errors in the plans.

Moving at the speed of PVA glue meant adding these stringers took quite a while. It is the first time I've added fuselage stringers that didn't rest in a notch so it was slow going marking all the positions then holding them in position till the glue set.

It took two weeks for the motor wire I ordered to go to my old address 80 miles away before finding its way to me. Of course that wasn't till I gave up and ordered more wire from somewhere else only to have them both arrive in the mail today. Anyhow, all of the electroncs tested out fine.

The directions say to stick the motor on with silicone caulk, but I drilled a small hole and used some left over servo mounting screws instead.
