John, Mike and Scott, thank you for the tips. I will carefully read the instructions. I am glad you pointed out about the "dry" fit on the spar. I would have glued it for sure, I think. John, I think I am going to go with the 10 oz. sullivan. I don't want to get too complicated on my first kit. I am going to see if Sullivan makes a bubbleless, bladder tank. I like the idea of the bladder, thus no air. No air, no bubbles.

Scott It looks like your covering job is coming along well. For me, that's going to be the scary part. I am looking forward to the challenge.

I won't be working much on the plane until Monday. My kit was short the 2 ea,. 1/4" x 3/8" x 48" Basswood spars. I ordered them from my LHS today.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

God bless you and your families.
