I constructed the left wing today. It must be sanded and shaped. Then both wings will be amputated to wing roots for mounting.

John, you still haven't told us how you made the cowl!

1/8 ply wood circle cut on a jig saw, then I laminated 6 or 8 layers of balsa scrape on the top. After the glue dried, I filed and sanded it into shape. The best is the lavender scent of the filler...reminds me of Paris!

I think I'll keep looking for plastic or use my MicroLite.

Yes large she will be, as large as the Guillows B-24 in span. Just an exercise in large planes down the road!
