Bill,

I thought that was "until the cows come home."

Did you use the same sanding method for the top blocks? I've got them roughed-in and plan to finish shaping them when I've glued them in (which won't be until after I connect the elevator and rudder linkages).

Thanks for the information. If you go just by the plans, the two bottom blocks look like they are finished flush with the bottom of the fuse. The images that have been posted clearly show a rounded top to the bottom. (If that makes sense.)

A couple members of my flying club dropped by this afternoon. They have just received their Simla kits and I showed them all my mistakes so they wouldn't make them. One is going electric, and the other also is mounting an O.S. 1.20, but plans to use retracts. Now that there's local competition, I'll have to speed up my work.

Cheers,
Richard
