Thanks bud.

You may have already had and answered this question but if not, where do you get the lead weights you use for your builds?

@Hinckley Bill, I get them on Ebay, just type in lead ingots and you will get several that sell them. I like the Lyman size, the shape works out well and they are one pound each.

After a day of tree work my body said not again today. So, I have finished the struts, mounted the right wing along with the strut.

Woo Hoo! Starting to look like something.

I have covered turtle decks with balsa, plastic (Plexiglas), fiberglass, and even G10. But this one with the 1/64th ply was a real pain. It was just stiff enough to need strong measures but soft enough to move around. What I mean is, once it was pulled down on one end clamped the other end would pull out. Pull that end right and the other end pulled out. But I finally got it, I think, also started the nose sheeting. That will be about it for the day and tomorrow I will be back on that tree, wish me luck.....

Way to go Robert, it's going to be done in no time. Have you figured out what scheme your going to finish it in?
