Looks great Jerry, I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together.

A little pain and it's not too bad of an ad hoc last minute quicky nind cylinder radial.

Trial fitting.

The bendable section on a straw makes good radial cylinder.

The plans did not call for, nor show any thing on an engine so I built one from soda straws, wood and wire.

The wing is in three sections.

I got the plans from Mike Midkiff at Ozark Model Aviation. Mike was kind enough to print them in !/24th scale for me. He has a large selection of other aircraft.

That is a pretty plane and paint scheme. Where did you locate the plans?
jerry campbell, Image # 2261207 May 11 19:05

Cutting out these parts was far more tedious than I have encountered in the past, This is going to be a tough build and the plans are with little instructions. although exremely well drawn.
