The wings are sanded and have balsa filler applied. I'll sand them down tomorrow and start working on the tail feathers. Let's talk about glue. Glue cost is one of those incidentals you really don't think about when building a model but can become substantial when a giant scale project is involved. So far I think I've used (4) 2 ounce bottles of med CA to get the wings done. I'm projecting I'll use at least four more to finish the project and at $7.50 plus shipping, glue cost could reach $100. The only place I can get a substantial quantity discount is Tower at $5.99 a bottle and you save .40 if you buy 3. I bought 15 and a 20-6 prop so I got $15 off and $3 for priority shipping. Ya gotta get the most bang for the buck.
