Nice profile. The canopy turned green with 42 years in the box, and teh cowling had a gross imperfection in the botton by the vents. Ordered noew from the folks at Guillows. Funny to see the old 1972 price list, things have gone up. |

Tissue on fuselage came out okay, on the second try. Two areas might be repaired/replaced later. |

Elevator control surfaces, more difficult to tissue than I had anticipated, used the Esaki tissu instead of the silkspan which did not shrink. |

The thin plywood shet in the center should slide right into the fuselage slot, but the angle shown in the plans is too small for the fuselage so I added another piece on teh inside, epoxied and sanded till it fit like a glove. So if you use that piece marked "SA" add a little more width to be sure of the fit. |
