More progress today. The part that I like the most: cabanes, struts, and flying "wires". Actually 3/32 copper plated brazing rod, but once they are painted it will not be noticeable. The flying wires are soldered clevises at one end and 4-40 threaded clevises at the other. With light thread lock and lock nut to keep them in place.
I still need to do the braces on the landing gear but once that is done I will strip it back down and do the control wires/servo setup and mount the motor. Waiting on 6mm blind nuts to arrive for that.
I have a cowl mount designed to cut out on my CNC router table.
Then final sanding/patching to get it ready for covering. It has been a very long time since I used Sig Coverall Fabric so that should be fun. Ironically it was a 1/5th scale SE5a that I last did unsealed fabric on. Should be a hoot.
