| It looks like you learned a lot with this kit. At least with the P-47 you won't have to worry about exposed wires. |

ZFinally finished. I learned a lot building this one. P-47 is next and will try to improve and use what I learned. Thanks to all whose information I've found invaluable. |

| JC: after reviewing many, many of the building threads by some of the very creative artisans on theis forum, I thought I'd begin adopting some of their techniques. Being a newbie myself I'm experimenting. This filling of spaces gives you a much stronger and smoother finish. I suggest you review some of the builds in Dave Ducketts hanger. |

| I'm building the camel as well, and was wondering how come you put that filler around the cockpit area? New to this balsa building so just needing some clarification.

| Fine stainless steel wire from the hobby shop, cut to length works for me. I used this on my PT-17 and have used on plastic kits also. |

| I concur on using the least number of different strands, and drilling little holes with a pin. I used one strand of fishing line on my Tiger Moth. |

| This is an impossible task that I learned on my Camel. Use fine guage piano or music wire. I have used it for rigging on all my builds. I replaced the floral wire with music wire on my Camel. |

| I find an excellent way to run rigging is to drill tiny holes in the spars ( with a pin), pull cording through ( I use the cord that came with the Wright flyer kit) hit one end with CA, pull tight through the second hole, then hit that with CA, I strung my entire Thomas Moore Scout with two strands doing it this way,
