| I cut up two pieces of plastic from discarded credit cards and laminated them together to form the rudder bar. I'm now drilling holes for the cables that will l(simulate) lead to the rudder. |

| As everyone has at one time or another shared their workshop or home with our fellow VA members, thought I'd allow all to see my (truly) humble abode which consists of my little corner used as a workshop in our equally little one-room apartment. Considering my limitations on tools, accessories, and space to work, one can appreciate the old adage "Wherever there's a will, there's a way" to build models. |

| I finally was able to get the fairings sanded so the next area for filler is the sections made with the 1/16" stringers, top and bottom. |

| Through the shop window as I was covering wings. Think I need a bigger bird feeder. |

| Another view of the saddles. Out of scrap balsa I built 4 different sanding blocks fair teh airfoil. If some ham-handed idiot wouldn't have crushed several ribs during the process, requiring replacments, I would hav been done much sooner. Now on to the strut & rigging attachment points. |

| Spent most of the day sanding and strueing up the wings. Never done this before. My enigineering & woodworking background has proven the worth of "jigs" over the years. Here is one of teh wings supported by three saddles that allowed me to get the bottom of the leading & trailing edges truly flat and also make sure that the undercamber of the airfoil was consistent. |
