The electric conversion is coming along nicely. I have the fuselage almost completed, and it's on its gear for the first test fit up.
I made an adjustable jig to force the fuselage into perfect alignment. The jig held it in place while I sheeted the bottom. I made
"witness marks" on the former centers to aid in alignment. The building surface is 1/4" plate glass.

Right now, it appears that it is going to be nose heavy, but only time will tell. I am going to make the tail feathers from 1/4" solid
balsa sheet. I have never been a fan of stick-built tails, and I have some nice 1/4" sheet in my stash.
