So far I think the polycrylic is working fine. Its alot easier to sand right through the cloth compared to poly resin so you have to be extra careful.

I never noticed anything wrong with the rudder but I didnt match it up to the plan either because nothing on the plans seem to be the right size anyway. I knew it would be hard to get the slope on the top to match so I just cut an extra 1/2 inch off and had a bigger block to work with.

My tail is done and ready for priming and the ailerons are drying but I can go no further until I get the wing tubes so I can match wing sections up and finish sanding. Now I have to make a decision on which paint I will go with. Is there anything that DOESNT work with the polycrylic?

Just today I fit the two fuse sections together and found out this thing is bigger then I thought, wow. I dont know how I am going to fit this in my 182 unless I take the back seat out and fully recline the front right seat. I also found out that it wants to sit on its tail and I pretty much have everything up front already and I dont even have the horizontal stab on yet. I tried putting the wing center section on and it didnt make a difference. Hopefully the wing with engines a little farther forward will set the nose down. I know my measurements are right as far as the main wheel placement goes.
