The wing is off the table, the bottom has been sanded down and mid CA has been added all over all the joints, this wing came out much better than the first one, when gluing the LE sheeting I decided to add thick CA to the front of the LE sheeting then position it on the LE and sprayed accelerator from above of it, it worked much better this way.

fuse ironing job complete. All I could say about my choice of making the factory color scheme is that if you are in a rush to go fly your R54 you could consider to make a other color scheme. It's not really difficult, but it's a long process. I have stab/elev and the fi/rudder done, I will tale a break in the ironing job and finish the fuse before ironing the wings . I am a bit fed up of cutting templates and apply monokote

Fuse assembly is easy, the only think I could say is to take particular attention when gluing cables housing. Glue them eveywhere you can all along. I say that because on mine, I ended up the flight controls setup with a very very small loosy ( Hope you understand what I try to say) rudder condition. When pushing with the hand on the rudder, I can ear the housing mooving slightly somewhere in the fuse and I have something like half millimeter loosy rudder.
fotunatly my elevator is fine.
here is a pic of my finished fuse
Next, wing ironing........

One small comment - if you can, its best to mount the JetCat fuel filter vertically, i.e., pointing up. That way, if you have any small bubbles that get into the fuel line, they will pass through the filter upon entry. If you have it on its side like that, I've been told that it is possible for the small bubbles to accumulate and once the bubble becomes large enough, it can "burp" out, potentially causing a flameout...
