| Since I don't plan to fly the Marauder I decided to follow DD in adding extra stringers. However, rather than cut each notch with a knife or razor blade I decided to purchase and use a Dremel tool to notch with. I works great, notching quickly, saving a g |

| I also use the dremel but rather than a staight cutter as you are using, I use the small metal disc cutter. I lay out the lines for the stringers and the touch the disc on both sides of the line. Perfect square cornered cut. I use the lowest speed and with the torque from the dremel if it should grab, you leave the former rather than going further in and creating a larger or deeper cut. I first used the same cutter as you but found the disc to be better. |

| If I tried this I would soon be "Nine Fingered Johnny!" I cut a lot of extra notches for the Mig but did not care how they looked because I cannot see through aluminum and thin basswood. |

| Jerry, looks like a nice sized kit. Is it designed for rubber power? |

| Looks like those hands are movin' and groovin'. I can't wait to see this one. The B-26 is one of my favorites. |

| The Dumas B 26 Marauder is designed for rubber power. It is comparable to the Guillows B 25 in size and scale which is what decided me to build it. The hands are far from "movin' and groovin'". The big cast is off and wrist brace is on, but the little finger is still asleep and the nerve has not yet begun coming back yet. |
