Thanks a lot, i am glad you like it. The wings and stabs came out very nice and smooth indeed, there is no need for filler anywhere. The fuselage needs a little here and there, because the sheeting is made of separate pieces.
The structure of the wings and stabs is mainly assembled with CA, including the stringers for the main and secondary spars. The plywood rib doublers were glued to the ribs with epoxy, as was the wingtube sleeve.
The shear web parts of the main spar were glued with aliphatic resin, and the ones for the secondary spar with polyurethane glue (similar to Gorilla glue). Polyurethane is also used for attaching the balsa sheeting, leading edges, trailing edges and wingtips.
The weight looks good so far; it is 100g lighter than my Radiance which was under 5kg, while the fuselage is 140mm taller. I'm not sure how much glassing and painting the fuselage would weight, but i plan to go with film covering since i don't have the room and tools for painting.
Weights so far:
Fuselage 900g
Wings 265g each
Stabs 70g each
Rudder 62g
Please let me know if i forgot anything.
