At this stage the total weight with the cowlings is 11.2 ounces/ 317 grams. Oh well, it'll never fly, anyway. |

The red is what has to be removed first and is easily done, gently, with a sanding block. The patina on the aluminum cowling is courtesy of 56 years sitting in a box. Priceless. |

| Patches is in his normal mode after breakfast, sleeping. This type of construction is new to me, as well. Berkeley made many different kinds of kits and I would guess this would have been right up there. Once sanded and filled the pre carved blocks prove to be superior wood. I made the tail feathers solid and have added $3.50 in quarters encased in filler to the front to insure it will sit level. For comparison: check out the Fairchild 24 in my hanger which is also a Berkeley kit, and one of my most favorite models. |

| I'm not sure what Patches is up to here, but the Savage looks really good. Interesting to see this method of construction. |

The wing and tail assembly are not yet glued on. All the fuselage pieces are glued together. It's nearly daylight and mild so I'll be going outside to do some sanding. |
