    Tail wheel is on and I started working on the sheeting for the stabs. I’m using Titebond II for this, same as the one I built. First I had to cut the sheets in half, it takes eight 24 inch long sheets to make pieces for the stabs.

    So far I have about 80 hours of building time since I got the kit 34 days ago. I have the tail wheel to install tonight and I may start gluing sheets together for the skins. I’m planning on going to Joe NAll next week, from Wednesday till Saturday (POOR ME RIGHT?) so I will lose some building...

    Well this was a Golf weekend for me so I only worked on it a little, I got the tail wheel plate glued in place, sanded the tube socket flush with the fuse and I marked the landing gear. I will be using 10/32 bolts with lock nuts. The plan calls for 8/32 taped on the hard wood but I do not trust...

    Thank you guys, Jason, I'm using thing CA Mercury. I used it on the 118. I flew that plane for two full seasons in Advance and lots of practice, I never had an issue with the frame. The key is to make you sure you have a good snug fit, thin ca works great. At the Worlds, you mention you were...

    Don’t have a bunch of time to give details, but here is what I got done so far, all formers are glued in place, got top and bottom cross brasses done and I started on the angle ones last night. I made a tool to help me find the angle.

    Once I has happy with the location of the fuse and after rechecking the wing tube location, I glued in formers F2,F3,F4 and F5 on the right side looking from the front. You will see I have two squares clamped down together on the left; this is to keep the engine box from moving while applying...

    So now that I have both fuse sides done, it’s time to locate the engine box over the plans and locate the sides just as I did to locate the wing tube and the stab tube sockets, but prior to that, I picked three points on the plans and I cut three cross braces and shaped the angle using the belt...

    Hello Jason, sorry I didnt see this during the weekend, The plans call for Bass Wood, 1/2 by 1/4 the height you have to cut yourself. I may have forgotten to take pics of that. I'll be posting soon what I got done this weekend.

    Both fuse sides have been sheeted and I’ve located and glued in the hard points for the rudder servo. I used epoxy on this area. I used the socket tube to mark the 1/8inch sheet from the inside, marked it with a red sharpie and used my Dremel with a flat wheel to open it up.

    I manage to get a little work done on it last night. I glued on the 1/8 balsa sheet and trimmed it flushed with the top and bottom longerons. I like this kind of work on the kit, not too much to think about. I used tape to hold the two pieces together flipped it over and use thin CA, the side...

    My next step is to glue together four pieces of 1/8 balsa for the outside skin.
