Hi Roger....fantastic work, as usual. Does the rear spar attach (to the fuse) with a single bolt, or two? Also, I assume these bolts will be used to remove the wings for transport, eh?

Yes the rear spar attaches with one bolt only, and yes the bolts are all removed for transportation....

Thanks for the kind words.

took another break on the Dalotel, as I insulated properly another wall in the shop, this part is not the hard part, its taking down everything on that wall that's the problem, but now its done, one more to go, but will be back on the dalotel within a few days

This is going to be fun to watch. My Uncle Gary who got me into this hobby some #@%$ years ago................ was such a fan of the Dalotel. He owned a couple of them. If I remember correctly, when he used to go to vegas for some nationals or something like that, he would really enjoy watching I believe Hanno Pretner flying a Dalotel.

Irregardless, this will be awesome to see come together

gluing the long pieces of plywood on the root part of the spar, there will still be two short pieces left to put on , on the end

gluing the landing plates to be drilled later and the wing tip spar, these are only 1/8" versus 1/4 for the main part,

I know these are quite boring photos but are part of the construction process

Nothing boring about those pics, every piece on is one step closer to the air.
