Front cowl shape was inspired by David Ducket's P47. Sanding this took quite some time. |

Stabilizer and fin rebuilt; new one in the foreground. Weight is (old/new): Stabilizer: 5 g / 8g. Fin: 2 g / 3 g. |

Sorting my balsa wood. |

| Looks very light weight. Nice. |

| Hmmmmm Interesting set up for bulkheads. |
| Heinrich Dorfmann, Image # 8889 | 10 Jul 08 14:46 |
In this plan, the bulkheads are split into upper/lower half. The result is less than perfect. Next time, I will build symmetrical left/right bulkheads. |

After a longer family break, I finally found some time to continue with the fuselage. |

The two bulkheads have been doubled and are joined with plastic screws. |

Starting the fuselage. The middle part holds the wing and will be detachable to access R/C components; I will try to make it fly. |

| Took about 31 hours so far. |

Leading edge is straight, main spar is almost straight. Now for the fuselage ... |

Wings after sanding, together with fin and elevator. |

| A mechanical letter scale. I love it because it's got two different scales, is easy and sturdy and so simple! You can read 1/2 gramm precisely. |

| Save yourself work, just cut pieces from scrap to make them fit. |

| Herr Dorfmann, looks good to me, is that a glass for schnapps in the background? |

| Lookin' good. That's an unusual tool! |
| Heinrich Dorfmann, Image # 8294 | 10 May 08 10:57 |
Set up for main wing. I have to re-cut rib 1 and rib 9 as the ones I have do not reach the leading edge ... I *love* building eliptical wings. |
| Heinrich Dorfmann, Image # 8293 | 10 May 08 10:54 |
... and after sanding. It is plain to see that it is not symmetrical; I will probably rebuild it. |
| Heinrich Dorfmann, Image # 8292 | 10 May 08 10:53 |
Elevator before .... |
