    More progress. Got the main spar notch cut and the spar glued in. Also might have gone slightly overboard using the router attachment for the dremel to put pockets in the surface of the wing for the servos to recess down into. Finally got the bottom vertical fuse piece glued for good.

    I can share the plans if you would like. Very simple plane to cut out and build. The two in my pic are the first of their kind. Only just drew the plans up for them two weeks ago.
