Default RE: control line plans

You have done some great work there! You should be very proud, especially with the wing ribs.

The biggest problem I see for now is far too much glue. Glue that is not actually holding part of the plane together is just dead weight. The test is:
If you can see any glue after the parts are put together (but not dry yet) then you have used too much glue. I see glue smeared in many places that the parts are not touching. This is something that you will learn in time and it will be well worth the trouble once learned.

The second biggest problem I see is that the engine firewall is going to give you lots of trouble because you need a lot more bracing. If you don't, expect the firewall and engine to part company with the rest of the model early in its life.

Keep up the good work!

Robert.
