While I was awaiting for my Dumas Corsair to arrive, I decided to start on an easy and fast build. The wood was pretty good weighing in at 8-9 lb/ft. The notches were over-sized and the strip wood was 1/16th thick, would have been better if it was 1/20th. That's OK, I just sanded it down. The build went fast and as you can tell it is built per the plans with no mods. On Guillows porous wood, I like to use Testors Cement instead of Elmers Glue all, especially now after Elmers has changed their formula. My hobby store was out of Testors so I bought Sig-Ment instead. In all my years of building I have never tried this stuff. It worked great and dries clear, and that's important to me. I like to have a clean build with no glue showing for the pictures. Total weight so far as shown is 19 grams. I still have to do some fine sanding and will add some supports to prevent wrinkles when the tissue shrinks. I am not using the supplied tissue of gray and white.......Guillows what ever happened to the Blue and Yellow? Any way I am going to use Blue and Yellow Tissue to finish this plane.
