This looks great, John. Smooth as a baby's behind. |

Initial fitting of the wings seem to indicate that they are very close to the "Real Thing". The fillets do not appear. I may widen the wing root a tad. The trailing edge of the Mig almost extends to the rear of the canopy. Computers, great resource. P |

Sand paper made in Brazil 220 grit me thinks. If you want a real smooth finish on wood use "rotten stone"! |

Today marks 99 hrs into this bird. This is what I have to show for the time. Tonight I will enlarge and print the wing plans. |

Boris, AKA Niki, needs aid to get off the tail. I must find another "Boris". He has worked so hard and appeared in so many pictures that his "Joints are burnt out!" He really cannot stand W?O assistance! |

The hinges were made from music wire and Al roof flashing....scaps from the fuselage forward skin. |

Waiting for another coat of filler to dry, Sasha hinged the rudder. |

Looking great John. Looks like all that work is really paying off. |

I'm admiring....Very smooth....nice work John |

We ar happy woth the way the fuselage becomes part of the rudder. Like poppy says....."when things work well, just sit back and admire it a bit!" With me I will probably drop the Mig tomorrow and destroy all this work! |
