Yup, she's coming together, Ken, looking good. I'm part way into my 1959 Berkeley Impulse RC build.



It's a kit build out of an original kit. Back then, they didn't have the refined die cutting and laser cutting we have nowadays, which is much more accurate. It's been a challenge to get stuff to line up, still have a slight warp in the sides I will remove when I plank top and bottom. The front two bulkheads are sitting in there loosely as I need to add a landing gear, which I will have to bend from 3/32" music wire. I intend to post a separate blog about it when I make more progress.
