I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Got it all together and then realised I had forgotten to shrink the tissue. The center of gravity is off (too tail heavy). Not sure I will be abel to get it to fly, but learned a lot about making this model. Tough build, but wings are easier than the SE5a.

Got both outer struts on. With the one of the left I pieced together the struts properly. The ones of the right side (as seen from the front) are backwards. It was not obvious from the start, but once I saw the proper way it made sense.

Attached the upper wing by starting with the inner struts, little hard without "slots " for the rear struts

Finished covering with tissue. I discovered that the B5 pieces were so long I could not place the lower wing underneath the fuselage. Spent some time sanding it down. I am beginning to assemble the parts, but I am not sure the nose cone will go on easily to make it flyable. I can already sense the CG and the CM are way off.

The lower wing was a serious challenge and I avoided making any control surface moveable. I originally wanted to make a flyable model, but not sure that will happen.

Started lower wing, but decided not to build diherdyl or make the aileron separate. This has been a challenge so far and I am frustrated with the complexity. I overshot with a more advanced build

This is the first time I had to shape the leading edge. I used sandpaper, but should have used a knife/razor.
