Just getting started actually .. . . after a couple of weeks of studying the plans. Have cut all fuse formers, mounted to fuse crutch, and currently building tail group before adding stringers, etc.
I've compared the plans side by side with the Ziroli plans, and construction is nearly identical.

Haven't started the wing construction yet, and am not sure how I'll maintain incidence. Still working on the tail group.
Here's a tip. You'll find the tail easier to build if you alter the sequence from the instructions. You can actually assemble the entire tailgroup flat on the board and the F-11? fomer before mounting it to the crutch. This allows you to use a square, and maintain alignment, before glueing the entire assembly to the fuse crutch.

Won't be ready to fly until the spring, if it doesn't get put on the shelf for other projects.
