| Thanks poppy for the sanding sealer tip. I think that even though it was really true to the fuselage curve at installation, the sanding over the stringers caused the elasticity in the fibers to relax and return to straight or sag. Next time I'll know and maybe even set more stringers in those tight curved areas. Second sheeted plane and still learning. |

| Moos, this looks great. I have learned when using 1/32 balsa that after covering, and before filling and sanding, spray a couple of coats of sanding sealer first. The sealer gives the balsa a hard surface so that when you start filling and sanding, you won't be removing balsa which usually eliminates any sag between stringers or ribs. When dry a light sanding and then use micro-fill, sanding between applications. Sometimes takes 3 or 4 apps. to get it right. Then another couple of coats of sealer. It also helps to lightly sand stringers before covering to eliminate some sharp edges. But this one looks fine. The cowl blended perfectly to balsa edge. |

| I still think it looks pretty good, maybe just alittle more elbow grease. |

| Take it from me, learn from Poppy. My tears are swelling the balsa on this one. |

| Not a happy camper right now. Fuselage shows way too many stringers. I realize the curve was tight. Next time will sacrifice a kit to planking and shaping. Maybe the 1/32" sheets were too light, but tend to think Moostang was a little heavy on the 320 grit sanding. Am happy though with the turned spinner. Let's see if camo painting really means "camo". Ouch. |

| Moos...the ultimate compliment looks like a DD piece of work! |

| Looking very nice Moos, Is that a map I see folded up in the storage pocket? |

| Tiny maps? Check with Gulliver.com. Will the dash be lettered in German? And rudder pedals? I'm glad I'm not competing in the "cockpit details" category. You and poppy are a tough act to follow. Course, you're younger and can actually see this stuff without it being blown up on the computer screen. |

Right side. After seat and armorplate will install balance. Searching ebay for tiny maps for map box. |

Cockpit started. Some touch up and brown wash for mud should soften the aluminum after completion. |

Bottom of landing gear needs to be shortened a touch. A piece of 3/16" od. pvc tubing and the cut off tops of Bic ball point pens. |

Testing for fit. |
