Starting the process of planking. I had several bottles of CA glue from our local Hobby Lobby which I used to glue up the formers and longerons. When I took the clamps loose, everything fell apart! A two hour drive to Sioux Falls to the LHS to get some fresh CA solved the problem. I'm using 3/32" X 1/4" strips for planking. I plan on planking the entire upper half of the fuselage before removing teh assembly from the jig. |

Another view of the jig and clamps. My "other hobby" is woodworking and one of the truisms from that avocation is that you can never have enough clamps. |

Longerons and formers mounted on the alignment jig. Got Clamps? |

THis is the jig that I made to insure the alignment of the longerons. The longerons actually change elevation from the main spar back to the final former by about 7/16", thsu the jig. |

It tool me a while to get the features on this site figured out and Jim had to change something for me to get in. That being said, I ve actually been working on this thing for about a month, so there will be lots of pictures intially. Here are all of the formers, of 1/8" ply except for the main wing spar which is 1/4' BAltic Birch ply. Cut them out on my bandsaw and sanded them round on my spindle sander. |

Hi All. I'm going to try to build this thing. The plans were in the 1954 Air Trails Model Annual. I got them from the Outerzone site. It will be scaled at 3/4"-1ft. to match the Guillows kits. |
