Now its time to join the Super Bowl game already in progress.........

Maybe I should of asked you sooner......
How long did it take you to do that last step?
And are you keeping track of the total time you have so far in this build?

About an hour to set it up (test fit and make a dry run or two) and about and hour to actually do it. I spent a couple of days looking at different ways to accomplish the task........

No, I'm not keeping track of my build time.

In case anyone hadn't figured it out yet , this is a large model airplane! yah, I like it

You are doing a great job, I alway learn something when I read someones construction threads. If I don't see you in Eureka Springs this year, Dallas & I will see you guys at Dayton.

Hi Rich......yes it is a good fin/rudder design. The whole design is an interesting concept and I am looking forward to the maiden and then subsequent test flights.

The Mint Julep Scale Classic has been moved from Rough River, Ky in May to southern Indiana on the same weekend as Hammer's Warbird's Over Arkansas in June. So it looks like Dayton in 2014 is the next time to get together - tell Dallas "hey" for me and Rhonda.

The ribs are Baltic birch ply and the sticks on the fuse are aspen. Some of the fill on the fuselage is balsa as is the wing leading edge. Its an interesting mix of wood and should be quite strong.

Status: offline 		I think this will give "Windows" a whole new meaning!

Larry has designed a series of building jigs to keep the rear fuse aligned when cutting in the cross pieces.

The jigs are slid over the fuse and located as marked on the plans and pinned in place - it makes fitting the cross pieces more precise and makes gluing them in very easy.......and all the while keeping the fuse straight and without twists. yah, I liked that, too!

Kudos to Larry

Status: offline 		I think another look at the ingenious series of fuselage jigs that Larry designed for this kit is in order. I have located them on the plans in their respective locations. The windows, if you will, represent the cross section of the fuselage at each location - sheer genious!

The fuselage is now straight and the stab is almost perfectly aligned with the wing tube. A difficult task made easy. I have been envolved in this hobby since 1975 and this is the most foolproof system of joining the tail together and cutting in cross pieces that I have experienced.

Oh, just in case you haven't been paying attention - this is a 1/3 scale model - yah, I'm liking this a lot!

Yep, that's the plan John......it is a pretty nice kit. Like Paul said - maybe there will be 4 of them, if everyone makes it to the coast.

And just for you Paul, I might wear my 'Nats Official' hat

what can I say about the extra picutre - oops

Not doing to badly working in the evenings and one weekend so far.

Yes the Mid-Atlantic Dawn Patrol is on my list of events for this year.

Making some small changes as I go to make it even easier to frame up.

Status: online 		This is a well designed kit, what a great idea! Building the fuselage straight is the hardest part of the whole build. This is something you would think of if they were building an ARF kit to mass produce. The pictures of the airplane and you shows how big the model will be when finished. Keep up the good work and post pictures.

Take Care
Rich

I will be releasing the production kits as soon as we have the prototypes flying and proven.
Should be sometime in April and then onto the fly-ins.

EDIT... I gotta tell you that the jig pieces for the rear of the fuselage are brilliant. I can see working that into a future build.

The "L" pieces go inside against the fuselage for the king post to rest against.

Did you do that little trick we talked about when adding the top cross piece where the angle starts
to tamper to the rear?

Your fuselage looks like it has less bow in the top longeron than mine did.
