Thanks - started last night. You guys think I should change the bottom hinging on the ailerons to middle-hinge? I'm not shooting for a super-duper scale effort, but to avoid adverse yaw, i'd like to have more 'up' travel than 'down'. I'll look over the framework and see what else could use some improvement too.
Right also about the gray undersides, instead of the clear doped linen. I'm using Koverall so I'll have to simulate the linen color with paint, but I haven't picked a scheme yet. Brown's Camel with the red front end, wheels and tail sure looks good. There's also the idea of adding 1/64 ply on the front end and staining/varnishing the wood part, and painting silver or a color the metal part.
