| Updates coming soon! I don't push the kids. The brainwashing seems to work better that way. kfinn's Dad. |

| Hi Katrina, It looks like you have been very busy to make all these wings. |

Hello. This is me. I built it with Daddy. |

| Thanks so much for the lowdown Phil. As my dad was (and still is) fond of saying..."you learn something new every day." |

| Hello ML, I'll explain for kfinn. That's 1/8"+ silicon fuel line. It acts like a "Push Pin". It holds down the pieces very well without crushing the balsa. For the small square stock just position the the pin vertically on the plan line and the tubing holds it surprisingly securely without having to do the "Cross pin" thing. Cut some 1/8" or so pieces of tubing and stick your pin thru it perpendicular to the axis and leave them there. Slide them down towards the tip before you push the pin in and the friction between the tubing and the pin is the clamping force. Cut a longer piece, 3/8" or so, pin each end, and you can span a Keel piece or Trailing Edge stock without poking a hole in it (Katarina didn't do that here). I saw this technique in a mag a while back and tried it out for the first time on my yet to be finished Eindecker build here at VA. Personally, I now use the tube thing pretty much always. Phil |

| Nice start! |

| Alright-- we rank beginners have to ask. Why the short sections of tubing on the pins? I've never seen this done before and wonder if I'm missing something essential. (BTW Katerina, it looks terrific...much better framework than my current project...blahh!)ML |

| I sorta steered Katarina towards this kit because of it's unique and quite simple foolproof wing build process and straight forward, robust design. The parts are actually die "Cut". They virtually fall out. She loved the "Flying Circus" camo! |

| This is a great kit and flies pretty good out of the box. Keep it up. |

| Super!!! You picked a tough one for starters. Patience is the key to a good build. |

| Hey! There really is a Finn Factory. This is great! |

Hi. This is my first airplane. My Dad and my brother Jimmy are helping me make it. |
