That is a lot of repair in the saddle area. I hope I'm right about this one being made correctly or I'll be making a new mold.

The first one I pull will be thick so I can use it as a plug later if I need to. I managed to get the stab back in shape. I'm not as pleased as I was before but I think it will come out fine. There's a small dimple but that can be smoothed out of the mold.
I just put the last thick layer of PVA on it. You can see in the photo it's really straight so I think the PVA may be filling the dimple...good with me.

The plane next to it is a Cutlass that I need to get to at some point too but I know what you mean about the motivation in seeing other guys planes. Every time I see yours I think, 'man, I gotta get this thing done'. It's too wet to paint the Dirty Birdy anyway so I might as well keep busy. It makes nice breaks while drawing in CAD all day.

I might just have to glass this side tomorrow because I can't wait for the weekend. I've gotta get one pulled so I can see how it comes out.

Later,
Tim
