Default RE: First Scratch Build

I took a look at the two sets of plans I plotted out. The full size plan is a 62" WS and 42" fuse length and the 75% plan is about a 46" WS and a 31" fuse length. I think the smaller size would work well with the .46LA.

I am mainly undertaking this for the experience of cutting my own ribs, formers, etc.. I have cut ribs for repairs in the past, but never a whole set for a plane. I look forward to the challenge of cutting all the parts and building without an instruction manual.

It's going to take me a while to get my shop ready for this project and gather up my balsa. Thanks for your help.
