Status: online 		I can't figure out how to send a pic. on this phone. There are no gussets in the fuse. and light ply for bulkheads. It looks good for a store built arf. It's weight is listed at 12 to 14lbs. That's a big difference in weight.

Here is where I'm at right now.
Keep up the good work and you will be finished in no time. I have almost 5 months in it so far.

Status: online 		Does everyone have their canopy?
RC Guys has a sliding canopy for their pitts
Find it in the accessories section.
I have one it looks like it's going to be a nice addition.
Just a headsup for anyone interested.

Status: online 		Just a tad more done. Got the top front fuse hardwood in. The tapered stab second half in, although not completely sanded, that will come when the stab is built. And added a doubler to the front and rear formers of the cockpit, a little more meat for the covering. Got to give this a couple hours to dry and then turn her over and sand that wing saddle. At the same time I will clean up everything else. Then I like to put in the electronics to get a feel for where and how everything is going to be placed. That also means actually mounting the engine, I always get excited about that.

Status: online 		Ok guy's got a question for ya's. In the photo below, you can see where from the back of the cockpit to the cowl is sheeted. Which do you all think is the best way to go, aluminum or fiberglass?

If I had a do over at this point, aluminum.
Mcmaster car has aluminum sheets that are very very thin. It's listed under Shim Stock.
