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

Rear block for outside nacelle will be carved when wing covering installed. Outer nacelle req'd 12 pieces 1/16" balsa, inner one 18 pcs.

2 nacelles finished.

Nacelle blocks in place, L/G sitting in place. This is going to be like building 4 small fuselages. I think in the fifties the words "easy build" were not as important as they would be today.

Outer panels slide out for transport.

You going to put a wing fold like a Corsair? With the 3' span of my Piper, every time I moved it from one location to another I would knock the wing tips on something. This is a pretty amazing build, Poppy.

A wing span taller than the average ham sandwich!

Full span-right wing.

Somehow I think you can handle it!

I'm gonna need a bigger workspace.

Remarkable!! You have got to love this model....a tad large but wonderful!

Another 37" will be added to complete full wingspan.

Test fit of wing sections.

3/16" spars added mainly to keep balsa skins from sagging. Inner wings are 20 1/2" inside to outside ribs. Outer wing panel will be 18 1/2" and is removable.

Nacelles frames finished and attached to wing.
