| Starting Fairchild 24. I've checked out various ways to build this aircraft and decided I'm going to try to build it "all balsa" instead of using the tissue supplied. |

| Detail of wing dihedral. A little tricky for a first timer, but I think it's pretty close. |

| The interesting part of this model was the use of an ordinary pin for a wheel axle. |

| Before landing gear was added, had to make sure the landing gear structure was tilted correctly. Next step was to sand the skelital frame of the fuselage, wings and stabilizer. Going on line to see other examples, such as here at VirtualAerodrome.com has really helped me get started. Everyone here has some pretty cool looking aircraft and there certainly is a lot of talent here and good advice for beginners like me. |

| Well, it turned out a little rough, but I do like it. This kit was fun to build and the wing dihedral was a bit of a challenge. |

| This is my second aircraft I have built using Guillows series 900 Sky Raider kit. It is all, as I say, "old school", using only parts and materials provided in the kit. It was definately worth the ten bucks for the kit. Lots of fun to build. |
