Badger, thanks for the tips on covering. Keep us informed. I wish we could see the different stages of covering.

I have a question? I am getting ready to cut the lower fin, center and dorsal fin and the
flap doubler out of the 1/4" x 3" x24" pc. of balsa. I do not have access to a scroll or table saw. Do you think I can do it with just a #11 and good straight edge?

I would like to buy a small (hobby) table saw or scroll saw. I have seen the Dremel scroll and a small table saw or two. They are expensive. I don't have any extra$'s right now with holidays, etc. In your opinion, what is the first shop tool you would buy? What do you consider your most valuable. I have most of the hand tools, sander bars, etc. I am talking about the larger equipment.

Thank you guys for your assistance. If I don't talk to you again, please have
a Happy Thanksgiving!
