MegaMang, thanks for joining in. You must have been one of the first guys to get the kit. I know what you mean by not wanting to quit when you start. This thing is a lot of fun. This is the first kit that I have built in a dozen years. I forgot how much fun CA is to get off your fingers! The titebond sets up fairly quickly but I like to leave it overnight to ensure a good bond. It is stronger than balsa by a lot.Are you going to use dacron or film on yours? I perfer the more authintic look of dacron. Plus I just love to seal, fill, sand,fill, mask,paint,mask,paint,mask,pai.............. What is your choice for power?

Worked a little after dinner. Stacked and sanded the nose piece and scoop. Total time for that was one hour. The "sand to the marks" system works great. Got the gear wires installed and bent and soldered the joiner wires. Got to run into town tomorrow and get some 22 ga. bare wire. I just finished building this house and there is not one inch of it here. Too bad Icant' use 12 ga. I've got lots of that.
Still waitig for the Canadian post to deliver my ribs. Want to start that wing.
