Default RE: Swoose Build

Smitty, When I have done or added something I post a photo or two here on RCU, the servers are so bad when trying to post photos I decided against doing a true build thread. It's usually berried in page two or three by the time I bring it up so you may not have seen it. In the next week or two I will be doing some of the finish work on the fuses and getting them contoured with more sheeting and planking.
Until I started building these I had forgotten how nice planking can come out, been a while. Setting up the floats will be the hardest part of this build. I had almost hit incidence on plane 1 and did hit it dead on with #2 but the floats will be time consuming getting them set. Once I have them set at zero incidence and sitting straight I plan on lifting the complete plane off the floats by a couple of degrees for that lifting incidence.
