What material are you using for your laminates ?

Balsa, ply or lumber ?

Yea, the wife went to town.

Are you wetting the 1/8 ply before you bend? Looks they wou;d break if you did not do something to get them to make them more pliant.

Just finished the Frank knoll 38% Cristen Eagle with 100 cc  perfect combo with full verticle  came out about 35lbs with monakote and Kirby graphics.  The Andy S-2 was 28 lbs with coverite dope and perfect paint! good luck!

Status: online 		Around 8PM I went looking into some pics a poster had suggested. In my quest I came across the RCGUYS Pitts. They have one in the exact color scheme as the yellow one that was leading the poll real well. So I decided to close the poll and will NOT be doing the yellow and black. I don't care much for the idea of being fashioned after an ARF. So for the past two hours I have been racking my brain and searching for scheme's. Someone here posted a pic of one and I think I have taken a liken to it.
Thank's to John Josey.
I had seen this one on Airliners but the angle of the pic was in a manner as to not really see it. So! The following photo is the paint scheme I have decided to go with.

Status: online 		Somehow, I don't know how, the last piece of wood was just glued to the top wing. Starting tomorrow I will go back to the fuse and add in strips for the panel screws and such. Then start sanding. Got to get the sanding done before the sheeting so I guess technically it's notthe last piece.

Status: online 		Got the ailerons cut out point marked and ready to cut off after sanding. Not gonna get anything done today. The wife went back to work so I'm getting some housework done. I will be going later to get some more aluminum to build the top wing center mount with.
 Should be back to full build mode tomorrow.

Status: offline 		Ace,
I just want to mention this, assumeing you'll use pin hinges for the controls. before you assemble the ailerons, tack or clamp the leading edge of the aileron to the trailing edge of the wing. This will be like step one for building the ailerons on your Corsair. Mark and drill through both pieces at the sametime for the hinge pins, then you'll have perfect alignment for every pin.
