I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Thanks DD, poppy. The wheels give me a "woody!" "Lettuce" hope when I tissue the upper wing it turns out equally well.

Looking good. I am thinking you really like deep purple. BTW, the wing coverings turned out really well.

I REALLY like the looks of this. Those fat tires just set it off!

I think they look great John! Bigfoot wheels man!

"TANKS!" They are going to need some rivets/lug nuts or paint, but for $9 they fill the bill.

Close enough. Great wheels!

New shoes fitted and installed. The Williams Bros wheels are a close match to those shown in this research photo.

This AM "Zipcode" became a Temporary monoplane.

The lower wing trimmed and sealed. Upper wing framed. I hope the UW covers as well as the UW.....tomorrow!

DD...I am liking your favorite covering method. Think it is OK for my first attempt. The decals and parts are in the mail.

Oh, I see now what you were saying about the wing former construction. That would be a pain in the butt for anyone as the Dumas wood in my Corsair kit was very light and very frail, great wood for flying though.

Bottom sheeted with 1/16 balsa and sanded it thinner.

Fraile wing problem solved. Sheeted the bottom, plan to tissue the top.

Look carefully at the wing formers. You had to construct each individually by attaching 1/16 wood on the bottom. Out side of the robust LE, the TE and stingers are 1/16....very frail and hard for me to work with....I kept breaking pieces as I handled it.

Why?
