Default RE: G.P. PT 40 MK 2 TRAINER BUILD

well the first night was pretty good,i sorted all the parts and labled everything,i think i only used my knife twice to remove the die cut parts so my hats off to great planes for that.got the stabilizer,the fin and some of the fuselage done,also the engine bulk head and the wing bolt plates.i do recomend the hing marking tool and the power slot hinge tool,wow it made this task easy and very accurate. the fusealge went together great with little sanding to fit all pieces. the one problem i had was using ca medium to glue in the fuselage doublers,instructions call for ca medium and these parts are so long and the instructions says very impotant to be accurate,i think maybe 6 minute epoxy should be used here as you have hardly any working time to move them around. i had a hard time getting away from the table and get to bed for work. im sure ill run into problems at some point but having the manual for 2 weeks before my kit got here i read and reread it and took notes and have prepared for alot that really has helped,here are some pictures so far my first time posting pics so see how it goes,thanks steve,,,ohh sorry about the caps in first post guess i was excited[img][/img]
