Right, I promised updates and a good build thread, I'm going to deliver. I got a bit distracted today, there was a dead calm and I flew four flights with my tiny Zoot Scoot. I realized I need a bigger LiPO for that one too.

I begun on the wing tips today, not quite finished yet, but getting there. They are build from a 2mm balsa base with 6mm stock reinfocements that will be sanded to shape later. Sort of a fiddly job. I used the old method of "glue logs together and carve away what does not look like a wingtip" with the reinforcements. I need to make a new sanding block now and I'm out of both good #11 blades and 80 grit sandpaper.

I think the next step is going to be some of the details I left out. I need to cut some slots into the right wing panel to accomodate the dihedral braces. I did it for the left wing but forgot the right one... There are also two reinfocement beams which should hold the fasteners for the wing supports. Those should go in soon. Then I'm going for the center section, i.e. the tank on this kind of plane.

I thought I should add - I'm in no way a master builder. In fact, this is my first large scratch build and my third overall plane. So sometimes this is a learning experience for me, and I hope to inspire someone reading that building from scratch isn't so intimidating.
