My plan for today is to start getting the fuselage doublers laminated in. The fuse is going to require another run for balsa and as I start to assemble that I can hopefully purchase the rest of my balsa for sheeting and structure in one trip.

I'm considering cutting the exits for the pushrods before I get the fuse together at all. Do I just cut an oval, or is there a pattern someplace for that?

Everybody has nice things to say about how the plane flies and I hope that's not just the nostalgia talking. I'm thinking about going ahead and getting a OS .25 LA for her. I've got the royal .46 from my first attempt at RC, but I think the fledgling would really benefit from being as light as possible and it should let me run a 6oz tank as well. I'll probably go withconventional landing gear because its some lighter, and I really want to develop skills for warbirds.
