Here is the completed fuselage. To all the future builds, notice the blue tape. Do not glue those pieces together. Wait until after you put on the elevator. |

The center section of the wing and center section of the fuselage where the wing fits is extremely strong and after a little trimming the wing fits perfectly. |

The balsa and the structure are lighter and much more fragile than building a Guilloes kit. Because of my hairy hands and thick fingers I've broken sections of stringers and had to replace them. |

I put on all the wing struts. The top wing had a slight curve so I had to weigh down one side. |

This will be as far as I get for a while. I'll be traveling for work, returning in two weeks. I'll be sure to drop by and check everyone else's progress. Thanks for the help, tips, and motivation! |
