| Excellent...make a few beaded necklaces to sell while you wait for the glue to dry...... :-) |

I have used enough expletives for one day. The port side is rigged and the port aileron control rods are connected. “Stretch Magic” black necklace chord works marvelously. |

With the pungent aroma of cross linking epoxy molecules wafting thru the workshop atmosphere, Nunzio acquires his permanent air foils. |

Prior to the permanent air foil assembly, 44 anchor eyes were attached to the wings and struts in preparation for tomorrow's rigging adventure. |

Nunzio is saved from a fiery demise. Now I must add anchor points for rigging before the wings are made permanent. This enables the rigging to be installed using fewer expletives! |

I was viewing the wings with the tail skid on the earth. |

I found two construction errors on my part. 1. I had sheeted the upper air foil center section making it thicker. 2. The pictures in the reference book have the tail elevated as in flight. This changes the angle of attack of the wings. and their apparent alignment to each other. |

| I pondered through the night and think I have a solution to my dilemma. First, there was a nine month hiatus in construction between wing fabrication and fuselage fabrication. During this time my construction procedure plan clouded a tad. Now that I am putting things together I realize that Nunzio is a "stand off scale" aero-plane that I am trying to assemble to a scale diagram three view. The short kit is without procedural instruction. I shall spend this day "winging it", and hopefully before the sun sets, I shall have an acceptable solution to my dilemma. If not, Nunzio becomes kindling! |

| Generally speaking from this angle it looks just honky dory. Remember just you, and whoever else you might tell, will know. All others will be in awe of this beautiful model |

I have constructed a few bipes and this is the first time I have been bitten in the asp! |

I made a structural error somewhere And the alignment is trying my patience. |
| John M Oshust, Image # 30826 | 18 Feb 14 16:45 |
Dickering with wing alignment today. |

At The Home Depot for about $7 you get a bag of clamps. From Bill Parker size down. |

| Yet the lack of fuel and the pilot :-) |

Nunzio has a permanent lower air foil. Please note the wheels and suspension work now that Nunzio has gained mass. |

Nunzio’s lower air foil is in the hands of the molecules. |

Started installing rigging. |
