Those tyres look awfully large - a hint of things to come with this model I think! Note the extra stiffner above the firewall, in front of the first former, as advised by Mr Tritle.

Undercarriage bent, and soldered together. First time I've soldered like that. Found out that you have to sand the wire with light sand-paper before it will accept the solder!

From the back. Next: tail feathers. This is the same size as the Cessna.

Bottom stringers doubled and three additional stringers added to each side. That should do it.

Making the windows using balsa and filler. Piece of cake.

Stringers doubled on top. The nose is made from 1/2" balsa blocks. The section in front of the windshield is not on the plans. They say use a piece of 1/32" balsa to form it with no framework underneath.

I cut all the ribs cause the ones in the kit are on very thin balsa. I doubled the number of ribs and have added lots of extra wood. Plans call for only two spars.
