The pins just hold the formers square while the glue dries. Using TiteBond II here.

Working from tail to nose with a small square to make sure formers are perpendicular to keel. Working toward nose opening keeps square from running into frame.

Porter keel on board. Laser cut parts come out very cleanly. Side keel has bend in it and goes on in two pieces.

Not easy bo build without breaking it, but once it's all together it is amazingly sturdy. I replaced the six inch "white prop" that came in the kit with an eigh inch one. Made it slightly nose heavy, but easy to trim out. The trimming flights are a testiment to the "build it light enough and it can't fall hard enough to hurt itself" school of thought. With rubber and ballast it weighs 32 grams. Motot can take 1500 turns so it has a chance if there is zero wind in the morning.

Not exactly finished, but flyable which is all I need for the contest tomorow morning. If it survives the contest I will put the control surface lines and wheel wheel detial on it along with the exhause pipe and unit markings.

A veritable orgy of covering. Working on the Heinkle and four other models at once. The Easy built instructions say you can can wet cover with the domestic tissue supplied. Well, sort of. Works on the fuselage if you are very careful. The wings threatened to become pretzles. Didn't even try on the tail pieces. Still looks like it'[s going to hit that 25 gram target weight without rubber.

Two pin nose block key. I saw this type of nose block key used very effectively by some other modelers and tried it. Now it's about all I use. Former and nose plug are faced with 1/64 inch plywood. Pins are bamboo. Thrust button is Dare, not old style Guillow's thrust button supplied in kit. New style Guillow's thrust buttons are OK.

Tacked together for obligatory "bones shot". This has a 24 inche wing span and 80 square inches of wing area. Even with all the extra gussets and braces it still weighs only 15 grams as seen. I estimate that covering, details and prop will add another 10 grams.

Properly gulled wing. Uncovered, this whole wing half only weighs 2 grams even with the extra parts I added for strength.
