I epoxied the tail feather on yesterday after gluing the wing tips on. I did it in that order so I could place a small bubble level on a wing tip and thus level the wing and plane (with the wing mounted, well front mounted and back taped on).
Also i extended the front top sheeting to roughly the wing mid point.
Today It's landing gear blocks time. This was a very, very fiddly thing to do. I clamped the gear legs at the wheel axle point to a flat piece of 1/4" maple I had handy. That got the legs close to parallel to each other. That's when it got fiddly. Spent maybe an hour dry fitting to get the correct alignment. Now got a bunch of epoxy on the gear blocks, blocks clamped up, hoping like heck that nothing shifts.
I can slightly bend the legs if I need to, just prefer not to.

Will iron some black MonoKote into the cockpit area
The recessed area will get some black paint
Sight down the legs they are at the same angle
This axle has a very slight toe in, I think I will give the other one a twist also.
