Well a couple of guys mentioned they wanted to see the Desire as it went together so here goes my first attempt at a build thread and a jig built balsa pattern ship. I've done a couple of things that are new to me with this plane. First the jig for the fuse, second the press for the wing and stab and last the urethane method of glueing the cores and skins.
OK, we're off. The jig is the one GW has on his sight that is designed by Keith Hoard. It is extremely sturdy and pretty easy to build. After I got my formers and bulkheads built and got some light balsa in put the sides together here's what it looked like. It is strait and light, the strait part may be a first for me.
