The guns work for me. |

One of the three refence photos I have for Klaus. |

Everthing is dry fitted. The only major construction left are the fillets. Once done the best part...final finishing. |

| Tred to edit my typos but no success. If I am VERY quiet and the EVIL wing fillet. |

Klaus II hangs for display. To fit the wings I assembled, disassembled, and sanded the mount nine times until everthing fit into place. |

The wings here are dry fit. When all torsion forces are correct, all wings are "happy!" The fabric covering on the upper surface lays flat with out wrinkling. |

If I am nery quiet I can hear the epoxy molecules form and harden as they permanently bond the lower wing to the fuse. This time aroung my multiple errors from Klaus I are gone. The fit of the wings falls into place. My measuring stick tells me that they are true. The correct fit makes the eveil wing fillet a much easier task, either for today or tomorrow! |

| Looks class, If the rest of the plane looks anything like the cowl you'll have a winner on your hands. |

A poppy like smooth fuse. It is going to get the lower wing permanently mounted today....I hope! |

| Barnstormer. Thanks "Lettuce" hope that my success with Klaus II continues. I still have to deal with the evil lower wing fillet. I must remember to wear my hat when fabricating it. Best wishes for your Jug....after the Corsair one of my favorites. Which version? |

| Engine cowl and prop are just #@#%&^* spectacular. John I think this one will be hard to separate from a REAL one in the final photograph. Amazing work.

| Thanks James. As the learned DD stated, building the second one is a bit easier. The cowl is a left over from K1. I will make another cowl and engine. Klaus II will be able to change cowls to accomodate different flight conditions. |

| Minwax wood sanding sealer. It is like a varnish. |
