This is at least the fifth time I've had to tissue this central part of the wing...

Wings attached, tried a couple of test glides in the garden. Second one looked very good, banking slightly left and neither diving nor stalling, but when it landed the wings pinged off and in doing so tore some of the upper surface. Stripped this off to revela a couple of broken stringers, probably from yesterday's crash.

Two pieces of dowel added, and a little patching up. Just need to let the shrinking dope do its stuff and it's ready to go again :-)

Maiden flight didn't go as well as planned... Not a total write-off at least, perhaps I should attach the wings with rubber bands?

44g - is that good or bad? Bad I'm guessing. Took a lot of weight to balance it out.

Here are the exhausts I made in situ. Left the undercarriage off but the radiator was needed or it just wouldn't look right.

All covered (not the tidyest of jobs) and essentially finished, just decals left but I might try a test flight before then

Fuselage all done bar the covering. The painted nose gives an idea of the eventual colour.

...and here's the rudder. This is pretty much perfect.

Here's the covered elevetor, a little messy but I'm getting better...

The wing after drying off. I had to replace the centre section because of a small tear so I did it in two sections leaving the centre open as it was much easier that way.

Wing tissued - roughly the third attempt - and sprayed with water. Hope tissueing gets easier with experience, I was just about fit to pack in after try number two!
