Calen,

I haven't started on the control horns yet. I'll look for you tomorrow. I did install the tail wheel and cables. Your dry fit looks good are the struts held of with wood screws or are there T nuts in the wings. I got the cowling mounted and cut the cockpit canopy. I'm quite unhappy with the canopy the frames are huge and un realistic. I knew this would be a problem from seeing the plane on youtube so I ordered a spare canopy that I can use to make a new master. I'll fill it with hydrocal and then sand off all the outsized framing, install proper size frames and pull a new canopy. In the mean time I will rebuild the sides of the pilot's canopy. I've already added most of the additional framing to support it. Here is what I did today.
