| Shimmed the hoop with 1/8" Balsa and doublestick tape. Then just plane down the thickness. T.E to just over 1/16" at angle, and L.E. thickness taper from greatest chord point to inboard and tip. |

| I was surprised to see this kit already listed on the the "Aircraft Listing" here. Bummed nobody built it yet. It's nice to see someone elses build and take notes. James (Good), was it yours? You had mentioned that you had the "DH Dragon Rapid" like me. Thought you might have a penchant for older British aircraft, wonder why...He...He, Thanks JohnG. Phil. |

| Merely assisted. The shavings look like someone's blonde curls. |

| Hmmm...they do don't they. Especially after a night in curlers (not my doing!). Dopey. |

| Phil, interesting work on the wing here. Thank you for detailing it so well. Yes, I do have the Rapide, maybe I'll get to start on it in the new year. John, I didn't realise you had one too, cool! |
