Here's the latest on the project.

The cowl and canopy arrived from Fiberglass Specialties and it was packaged and shipped promptly. There is what appears to be a spot where there was a dust speck on the canopy, but I'm not 100% sure since I don't know how they are made, just my thought that it was a speck of something that didn't allow the plastic to lay down tight.

Anyway, on to my progress.

Lower wing is done now except for the end caps and the mountings for the servos. I'll do that when both wings are done.

Ailerons came out as I expected, and no problems there once I sanded them down.

Leading edge also came out as expected after I glued the leading edge stock to the sub leading edge (and two fingers, then removed the fingers, gotta be more careful), and sanded it to the correct shape, using the included leading edge sanding tool from the kit. I started with 40 grit, moved to 80 grit and finished with 150 grit for now.

I do still need to mount the hinges I just realized, but will probably do that when I'm building the other wing and glue is drying.

So, on to the upper wing.
