Default RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

Barry,
Looking outstanding! I have a long way as I am just trying to the formers framed. Did you have as much trouble as I am I mean with the lazy blown up plans makes the build much more time consuming. I had a heck of a time getting the wing saddle to sit corectly with the plans. Also you glue joints are fantastic any sugestions? I am using Titebond2 which as I was told is the same as GP glue. How did you smooth your joints I am guessing maybe a qtip. Anyways just got the formers on the left side squared and tacked with c/a to which I plan to go over with the Titebond and would love any tips. I did contact Sierra via email and have yet to hear anything back I guess it's the "squeaky wheel gets oiled" principle with those guys. Keep up the good work and I will try to post a few pics as soon as I have something that resembles the structure of an aircraft -Josh
