| Took me a few minutes of thinking before I finally had a good idea of it.

| I am very impressed with your building jig. Very creative for a model this large |

| Wood glue, carpenter style, with #4 x 1/2 screws. They look like #10 in the pics, but they are not. |

| Epoxy for adhesive? Maybe some flathead #10's wood screws countersunk with epoxy in the hole so you can leave 'em in and cover right over. Looks sweet, BIG, but sweet. |

Got it! Was much easier than I anticipated.......some hot water and away we go! |

| Kerfing might work, but with only a 3 lam plywood, you'd probably have to dampen the kerfed side also as the graining in a hem or doug fir veneer is pretty rigid at the color variations and a stepped effect might occur at the glue points. I would have cut the ply cross grain and it probably wouldve bent much easier, No kerfing just moisten the backside, apply CA and clamp. |

| You might try kerfing the inner portion, cutting a series of vertical slots on the back side, about 3/4 of the way through. Enough slots will allow the wood to flex so you can manipulate it into position. |

| You know, most guys pin their wood to the building board. I see you are using screws! The wingspan scales out to about 1/6 scale, so you can use a GI Joe for the pilot. |

| See the bottom wing former........gotta figure a way to bend/twist the plywood without breaking it so I can fasten it down to b3,4,&5. Easy enough to do with a 3/32 piece of balsa, but a bit tricky with 1/4" plywood.
Maybe get the steam kettle out and hold it under where I need to flex. |

| Short............? I mean "shot" of course using my cell phone camera. |

Starting the fuelage, waiting for the wing to dry enough to sand it. |

Guess who....? My arm is not long enough to get a fullsize short of myself with my cell phone. |

Maybe I should just bolt it onto my trucklid, and have a fancy schmancy race type car! |
