Default RE: MK Skystar - build started

I've just framed up an Aurora - a small MK pattern model. The kit was very cheaply prices (about $150 AUD including shipping from Singapore). The design is ver similar to the Skystar, only smaller. I've just loved the precision of the cutting, the rebates and the way everything just fits together.

I do agree that the wing an fuz do need jigging to get a straight result. I took a punt and just packed up the trailing edge equall along its whole lenth while building and sheeting top side. Seems to have worked out okay, but next time, I'll set it up on my adjusto-jig. (Never built a bad wing yet with that device). I'm looking at investing in a magnetic board (own build) for fuzes though, as I got a little banana twist, doesn't affect alignment of wings - tail group, just looks bad.

I'm looking forward to getting this pint size pattern model into the air.
