This has been a bit of a longish pause in the build. Sorry about that. A awful lot of personal water has gone under the bridge. Being basically homeless stops all leisure projects.
We now have a new roof, abit I think it is also temporary. No ideal at this point how long or where we will end up at. It is all in God's hands, and that is where my trust is.

I have carved out a work area in the garage. Have all of my tools set up. My oak computer desk that I build on has been mounted on heavy duty castor that I had stashed away. It presently gets hotter than the sun it seems out there, so early morning work. Don't dar open the garage door, the skeeters might suck so much blood I would pass out. They are bad here.

But I am able to work. I worked on the tail feathers of my other project last week. Laminated bass and balsa to form the stab T.E. That was fun and I learned a lot.

So this week it is RM Bi-plane time. Having fun already.
The wing tips are on for good, epoxy. Yeah that is for good.
They are rough shaped in. I have to mark the center all the way around and the start doing a bunch of carving and block sanding to final shape.

Then I think is time I finalized the lead outs.

It will not be finnished for the flyathon. to bad as that is only an hour away from. Next year God willing it will see the air.

By the way, my camera crapped out. It wont meter the exposure correctly. So for now use my computers camera. So not the best quality or shot composition.
