RE: Interest in build photos
Scott, you're absolutely right. Nothing to do but stay inside and build.
I have a few more updates tonight. I am enjoying the livin' heck out of this model! I always knew Goldberg was a master designer and a great kit engineer, but this is one of the most enjoyable projects I've ever done. One thing I've definitely noticed is that I build a lot slower these days. And without my Walgreens' reading glasses I can't even read a ruler anymore.
1. Shaping the tip block.
2. Top wing sheeting. I'm waiting to sheet the bottom until after the halves are joined and the doublers are in place.
3. Tip sanded.
4. Side view of tip. The light and shadow show how the end follows the mean camber line of the airfoil. I doubt it adds anything aerodynamically, but I like the way it looks.
5. The fin dry fit in the stab slot. I added a cap to the tops of the fin and rudder for rigidity.
