Well, i've got it pretty much all framed up. It's a miracle that i haven't destroyed it yet. I have not developed the cautious habits that i think are necessary for balsa modelling. I always find myself making quick movements reaching for a tool or something and knocking things around. If this plane gets airborne before i knock the tail off or step on it i'll be happily surprised, lol.

Now i'm waiting for my engine to come in and i need to order some covering supplies. Since this is my first covering job i need to get an iron. I think i'm going to get the trick Century 21 iron with the built in thermostat/temp control function. Sounds pretty handy. All the little things are really starting to add up costwise.

By the way, i think i somehow managed to actually build it straight! That's gotta say something for the kit! If i can build it, anyone can. The only part that really gave me much trouble was the wing mounting system. I didnt quite understand/couldnt quite visualize what was going on, untill it was nearly complete and i had messed it up just a little bit. I think they need more clear directions and more pictures for that part of the assembly. Otherwise it's great.
