David,

My bad on the plans. I took the first attachment up to Staples and got two copies of the 40" plans. Now to order up some wood and whittle out another one. The first was a good learning tool for things not to do!
Believe me when I say, you don't want this one. The picture looks okay, but you can't see all the problems with it. The wing has a little twist in the right half, kind of like washout. Must have happened when I sheeted the top, as the wing was built upside down flat on the plans.
The fuse is a little banana shaped too. One side curved a little more then the other. I also added some anhedral to the stab. Looks like it could use a tad more. Yes, the entire canopy is removable for access to radio and fuel tank.
The fuse sides do come down to the bottom and have triangle stock on the inside. The bottom sheeting has not been installed yet. All bulkheads and firewall were made a quarter inch wider.
Anyway, lots of lessons learned and i'll be starting #2 this week.

Thanks for the kind words.

Chuck
