Yes I can't wait to see it come together. Would love to do something like this myself.

Wow. Hope mom is okay now?

Exactly. My mother in law had brain surgery and didn't make it through. Not a small thing to have done.

Yep, she's just sore right now. She had a golf ball sized tumor on her pituitary gland at the base of her brain, it was causing her to lose her vision and also because of the chemical imbalance it was causing the doctors think it triggered her diabetes.

Luckily it was benign, and they got to it through her nasal passage. She's home now, and the best thing is she's already starting to get her vision back.

This evening I tackled the landing gear, when I was a kid and would build the Guillows warbirds for rubber power I'd always leave the gear off because I hate bending that little wire. That really wasn't an option here lol. Got the wire bent and attached it with epoxy reinforced with thread. The axels are a separate piece and part of the brace soldered to the gear.... When you're used building Giant Scale, this little stuff is a challenge!!!

Also started getting the stringers and sheeting attached

Wow that is some great news! Thanks so much for sharing.

It will be cool to see this fly around.

Tonight I just about got the stringers and sheeting finished, just got one more piece of sheeting on the belly to put in. The instrument panel glare shield is made out of a piece of sketch paper colored with black permanent marker.

To this point what I have built weights 13 Grams, so I'm on track so far!

So purdy. What will you power it with.
