Took a day off from this project to do some more "body work" on my Curare project. I did manage to finish skinning the horizontal stabs, and get the leading and trailing edges on and shaped/sanded. I decided to go with some 1/4" balsa stock instead is the 1/2" supplied with the kit for the top of the fuselage forward of the turtledeck. The instructions say to glue it in place but I think I'll make a hatch so I have future access to the fuel tank! Last pic is just horz stab and rudder pinned together to see what this plane is starting to look like other than the fuzzy pic on the box

Going to skin the wings tommorow, and then let the balsa chips fly and saw dust in the air as I get working on shaping up the fuslage. Not sure if I want to go with Monocote on this one or maybe a nice epoxy paint job?
