Thanks Steve.
Power will probably be the Saito FG 14 gas or the .82 glow. I just haven't decided just yet.

Last night I managed to get the bottom wing all mounted and set for a final sand and covering. Then of course I set it on the glue bottle and poked a hole in the sheeting.
Stab and fin are glued in place. Front deck is mounted, tank compartment is sealed and tank mount installed, etc...etc... All the little things. Tonight I believe is the top wing mounting and I'll fix the poked hole.

I will say I managed to cut the best looking hinge slots I have ever cut in my life. Straight, just wide enough, and no blood stains..

And then of course I continue to play with trim schemes.
