| If you saw the camera that I use you would not believe it. But it does have a Zeiss lens. It is a shame that we cannot view your photos with clarity. Sometimes, with my eyes, they look "normal"😄 |

| John,
Actually I have a nice "old" Panasonic digital automatic with a Leica lens that takes fantastic photos. The problem is my only internet access is through my phone with no way of getting those pictures on an SD card into my phone with a micro SD.
I've spent several evenings looking through your hanger and all I can say is that I'm speechless. |

| Yes, you certainly do. Get something German, they are known for fine optics! |

| Stupid auto correct... wetting= wing. but= cut. active= anyone |

This is the best shot I could get off the cylinder fins. I think I need a phone with a better camera. |

Test fitting the wing I ran into a problem. Former #3, which is the dash, hangs down into the hole and wetting ribs bump into it. Called Dumas and they admitted it was obviously a problem but they had never realized it before. Former#2 is flat on the bottom and forward of the leading edge. You could switch the two formers and probably be okay. Palerunner must have did this in his build because you can see they appear both ways in various build photos. I'll flatten it off and but another dash veneer on after the wing is in. I also asked Dumas about the lack of decalage in the stabilizer... Wing and stab are dead parallel. He said he'd add a degree of negative to the stab. I wonder if active there has actually built or flown this model. |

Downsized the rigging attachment blocks to 1/16 instead of 1/8. Beveled the top edges to hide under the tissue without lumps. Filed the holes as a groove on the side of the blocks before gluing. Drilled with #80 bit after. |

Wing is almost finished. Still need to shape the trailing edge. |

Black crankcase, grey cylinders, aluminum cam case, paperclip pushrods for contrast. Also wrapped and soldered the landing gear. My old boy scout lashings came in handy. Tried to work out a pattern do the solder would make the joints look like forgings. |

Working on the engine. Wrapped dowel cylinders with thread. Next time I'll find some thread that is less fuzzy. |

| Thanks Dave. I'll try that. this picture was taken from away with the camera zoomed in trying to get a better close up. I'll try to take a wider angle and then crop it next time.

underside of the fuse tail. You can see where It got thin on the last cross piece when I was fitting the stab. I built it back up on the inside. |

| Back up a bit with the camera. It will focus better if it isn't so close. You can then edit the image with your computer.:) |
