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

I appreciate your words of encouragement David. These little civil aircraft models from Guillow are well designed and have so much potential given their size - relative to the tiny 1/72 or rare 1/48 plastic options if you can find them. The Aeronca series are so under appreciated given the contributions to civil aviation over their decades of service.

Don - the rack I'm using is actually part of the Dumas Amphibian (Grumman Widgeon) kit. They include the parts drawn on card stock to make this but I just used them as a pattern on 1/2" thick pine lumber...I'll take some pics of it with dimensions. It has held every fuselage under construction I have made since that first Pink Lady Widgeon I made for the wee one

I'll never be able to think of it as a simple airplane after seeing what you're doing with it.

Anxious to see the finished project. Nice work!

Those challenges are the fun part. Wait until you set it on the floats. Looking good. Could you post a separate picture of the stand it's sitting on? Please. I think it would be a good replacement for my cardboard boxes

Long way to go yet but this one again proves that even the simplest little airplane can pose some complex model making challenges... And I still haven’t settled on a paint scheme lol

What did you use for the control sticks? The bends are smooth.

Yes - the cabin sides and top stringers were left off until the interior was more or less completed and painted. Then I realized I had mistaken the rear bulkhead - I have some rework to do lol

Good. Did you keep the top off until you finished the interior?
