The first mistake I made was to use 1/32 X 4" sheets which forced me to cover the top port wing in sections. Fortunately the Hobbyland store had a good suply of 1/32 X 6". |

Beginning to oover for the first time with wood, and I'm finding it is more difficult and time consuming than I expected. |

| I wonder if that helps these free flight rockets do a lazy loop to return to their (hopefully) original location. There are some videos of this plane and others on the internet. Fun to watch. Hope Dave and I didn't give you too much of a scare. |

A number of extra stringers have been added for strength |

| I know it looks like it should be the bottom airfoil, however the instructions calls for the airfoil as you see it, they even have a side view of the wing that shows the photo to be correct. I rechecked the instructions and plans. I believe it is called "wash" by those who fly these things, I am yet fly one but some day..... |

| I think you are right, David. |

| To me, it seems this airfoil should be on the bottom. ?? |

| This is a way cool kit of a pretty awesome rocket. Any idea of the scale? |

| The half pilot looks like Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back. |

Extra stringers have been added and the upper fuselage formers are added. |

The lower fuselage done and the blocks shaped, the wings are added and the sanding begins. |

| In checking various photos of Me 163Bs on the web it seems like it had no diehedral, and since I'm not building to fly I will build without diehedral. |

Building begins with the wings. The kit is designed to fly with jetex or rapier motors and has built in wash in the wings but should not cause much problem for none flying display models, especially when they are hanging. |

The print wood is excellent quality balsa and took less than two hours to cut. A vac canopy and half pilot are provided. The waterslide decals are inadequate, fortunately I have extras from other kits (plastic) as well as after market decals (plastic). |

The plans are well layed out and a full set of building instructions are provided. |

My choice for my nexxt project is the AeroGraphics 17" Messerschmitt Me 16B Komet. I've always liked German aircraft because of thier colorschemes especially the mottled camouflage. |
