We've moved to England now. Having a walk in the park this morning - this flew over, a nice surprise! |

| jfinn, Comment for image # 17694 | 25 Apr 10 19:30 | | Makes me want to get a magnetic buiding board James! Nice and clean and square. There'a almost always an "Oops" here or there ;o). Try brushing on some Windex to the areas with the heavier bends and let sit for a few minutes. It's the amonia that softens the cellulose in the wood. |

Progress as of end of tonight. Very enjoyable build so far. |

All was aligned perfectly, until having to bend the nose in to join the sides with F2. You need an awful lot of bending, on those already laminated sides. Unfortnately, mine did not bend in at exactly the same rate, and it's slightly off scew now. Also, the stress on that F2 is so great that it actually split the wood on the 1/8th sq balsa upright. It's a good idea to soak these in CA once it's in place to make them a bit stronger. |

The magnet board makes it very easy to align things up.... |

Unfortnately, my kit was missing the sheet with B1 on it. I had to call Dumas, and they sent me (Free of charge) the correct sheet. That came within a week, good service! This was this morning, sides almost framed. |
