HI All,

Well, I blew off the Culman comp and didn't meet Mike for practice today.

I stayed home and made a big mess of balsa dust. I finished all the major wood builds today. Got the tail together- fin/rudder - my little laser really helped with alignment. - in these pics the lasers look really think, they are actually less than 1/8" wide. really helps to get the fin and everything straight. All the stuff that Mike suggests to eyeball - set up the laser and it just makes it way easier....

The carbon wing and stab tubes are installed. I have the canopy frame cut, just need to glue it all together, and install the cowl and chin install the servos -cut the elevators and ailerons.... a few
more bits than I am ready for final sanding and paint - hopefully not more than another 100 hours : )

good thing this is my therapy.... and the next comp is about 2 months away....

cheers ! ( I am about to crack a beer)

Dean
