Thom25,

Wow! I'm guessing that this is not your first model. Beautiful workmanship.

Thank you for the images and good description. I'm beginning to get a clue.

Duane and Bill,

The temp here is 36 with colder temps, snow and winds forecast into Sunday, so it looks like it will be a while before I can get the fuse outside to sand.

While I'm waiting for the weather to improve, I've started sheeting the bottoms of the wing panels (and having my normal batch of problems). To make sure the sheeting adheres to the ribs, I'm applying the sheets individually. I did fit them as if I were going to glue them into one large sheet. Had just enough sheets from the two semi-bad orders from National Balsa (a company I won't use again). I've determined that CA is the only way to go to get the sheet to stick to the TE (and probably the LE). So wood glue on the ribs but CA when it comes to the edges.

Cheers,
Richard
