| Bill, I can just feel the love there! House of Balsa still carries this for about two bucks. Thanks for the tip. I bought a triangle at the hardware store, it's sized just right for your "larger" aircraft. |

| Someone I spoke with at the AMA EXPO 2011 gave me a great tip for setting formers perpendicular to the keel, use Lego blocks. I'll try it on my next build and post photos. |

| The upright jig was manufactured by House of Balsa. I don't know if they are still available. Charlie |

| Super covering job! |

| One one of your pics I saw a plastic jig or square you used for the formers. Could you tell me where you got that? |

| Beautiful! Perfect covering and just enough color to make it interesting. |

| This is a really clean plane. I am fairly certain it isn't a Grumman Hellcat, so what is it really? Guillow's Series 300? |

| What a little beauty. Top notch covering. When's her maiden flight? |
