I finally got some sanding done....this is just a rough sanding of all the balsa caps on the wings and tail. After sanding the wings and ailerons I weighed them and both read 8.8oz. I was surprised at how similar the weights are.....this will put me on target for 15oz. or less for each wing panel ready to fly.

Also laid out the splice for the fuse sides using a couple of steel rulers and some wax paper. I applied glue, then another sheet of wax paper, then carefully placed two sheets of particle board and some weights........I knew those would come in handy someday.
