Thank you TF for including ROLLED plans in this kit. It's so much easier to build on compared to folded plans. It's a good thing that I built a big table (4' x 7') because these plans are large! My table is topped with 1/2" sheet rock which protects my table top and will easily accept "T" pins.




I normally like to start building the wing first, but since my electric retracts haven't arrived I thought I would start the horizontal stabilizer. The ribs are die-cut, but many of the cuts didn't go all the way to the end so I had to use a blade to finish the job...I wrote the rib number on each rib as the stamp marks were too hard to read.




Happy with the dry fit of the ribs on the spars, it was time to glue them into place. I don't build with CA, I prefer to use Titebond II.




There are so many sheets of wood in this kit that it was a bugger to locate some of the parts I needed!
