I cleaned out the thread holes with a pin vice then hardened the end of the thread with CA to act as a sort of needle. Rather than use thin CA to held everything together I opted for some 30 minute epoxy. It does add a little weight but I think it is worth it considering how rough some of my landings can get.

Lower wings also assembled and sanded to shape.

My P-51's canopy dimples. The canopy was probably formed in the last two years so I doubt newer is better in this case.

Same P-63 but with some sort of panel deployed. I have no idea if these are the same as the J19 and J20 parts on the P-39 or not.

This is actually a P-63, note the smooth bottom.

This is a P-39Q. Again, they appear to be arranged as hood rather than fins.

The Guillow's plans, cardstock, and supplement. In the supplement photo they appear to be arranged as aft facing hoods rather than fins.

Upper wings assembled and sanded to shape. The plans give no indication of how many hinges to use and where to put them so I elected to put one near each end of the ailerons.

Ready for the leading edge laminations then the stringers.

I've decided to stick with the recommended MPI EPU-3 motors, GWS 7x6 props, and TP 2S 1350mAh battery. Each motor drew about 2.75A on a 50% full battery so I hope the little Pixie-7P will be able to handle the current of two motors on a fully charged battery. Regardless, there is no need for a 25A ESC as is recommended in the directions.

The plans for the 53" Guillow's B-29 shown at the bottom are the largest I have on hand. By arranging the wing patterns across the path of the paper going through the printer any distortion will be applied to both wings. The Sopwith Camel plans above it have the same layout the DH-89 has, providing potential for the left wings to both be shorter than the right wings. But of course they were dead on.

The upper right wing on the plans is not to scale as you can see by this 3/32" gap at the end of the ailerion T.E. (Part A9)
