We did get the lower foils and ailerons sealed with polycrylic. |

The lower wings were then covered with polys-pan. |

| Don C I mislabled this pic. Rods are hard to see. They show up in the other views from today's endeavors:-) |

| I did - do - whatever. It's a nice feature and I would guess a time saver too. Sure makes Gumby's job a lot easier. |

| Looking first class. "Guns" and "Rods", how can you go wrong...... |

The “Twins” should mount up nicely when their mount is fully fabricated. |

Don C.... please note the carbon rods in the upper wing center section. |

The finishing of the lower air foils proceeds. |

| One thing that I do: Use a "Story Stick", which is an old cabinet makers trick. Just get a piece of plain wood, I use a stick of 1/8" X 1/4" basswood and make the distances from point "A" to point "B" right on the stick. No more squinting at the rulers 'cause now you have an absolute distance between the points. The kids knew what they doing. |

| Don, that is what a hobby is all about keeping you happy! |

| Don today if they tripped you would be sued! |

| Thank you sir! I'm smiling. |

| 31 - good. I did EBD and only lasted 25. Mine put their finger on the mark and if they tripped walking across the shop had to go back and start over. |

| When I was teaching, my students solved their measuring skill problem, not thru learning how the scales worked, but by scribing marks upon the rulers. Most classroom measuring sticks were a vast collection of scribe marks and scratches. Eventually, this practice rendered the rulers useless. This mandated a re-supply order and a needless expenditure! Of course metal rules as the one in the photo would solve most of this problem. However rulers of this type were deemed too expensive. But wooden and plastic rulers were acceptable, when ordered in quantity, each year! Go figure the logic. For 31 years I could not!!! |

| The commando is a substantial plane. Me thinks if you just "glue" the wing roots to the wings displaying the model on your super LG would be adequet. What could happen if it was lifted and handled by only it's wings? Each build is is an adventure. Each adventure improves your technique improving the design and construction of the next one! |
| Don C, Comment for image # 33267 | 22 Feb 15 22:25 |
| And that will solve many problems. But hopefully there will be many more to solve. |

| It IS nice when things work as they should. I'm thinking of ways to be sure the joints on the Commando's wings are strong enough. The plans just are to glue the 2 ribs together. A questionable joint. Thanks |

| Those pictures used wooden dowels. My supply of carbon rods was exhausted and I was awaiting re supply from Tower Hobbies. The upper wing will also utilize carbon rods in its alignment and assembly. The location of the alignment holes came from the kit ribs and fuselage sides. In the upper wing I made a construction error and replaced the kit alignment plywood spars with rods. I duplicated the kit supplied lower wing holes in the ribs in the upper wing. Much to our surprise when we inserted the dowels the foils lined up. |

| I like the carbon rod idea. I went back looking when you had both airfoils attached and didn't see them. I was trying to understand how you lined up the holes in the 3 pieces. Could you please enlighten me? |
