2slow2matter,

The lines are drawn down the center of rib. Spar is pinned to building board then the back part of the rib is blocked or shimmed so that the center line is parallel to the building board.

I've never seen servo mount as you described with just the spline poking through access plate. But I like it, will consider on next build. Did manage to rough in an access plate tonight including the slot for servo arm so I am committed to that plan.

Color scheme will be Ultracote pearl red and pearl white with pearl blue accents. A bit of a snag has been hit on the paint. Nobody sells or mixes paint to match Ultracote pearls. Experiments last couple weeks has found that the tamiya pearl white is a decent match. It is not glossy unless overcoated with a clear gloss however.

I admire your building ethic. Finishing your wife's Kadet and another kit by mid-March is impressive.

I've accumulated 6 kits for future builds. My plan horizon is to finish the Killer Bee in April. Start next kit in May, a Lanier 40 Shrike, with finish sometime this year.
