Finally able to get back to the build. I had to get the motor mount cut, I had left it off the original cut file .

I decided to make the canopy and turtle deck from fiberglass, so I started to build a plug. I cut two pieces of white foam insulation with a hot wire. I did it by hand, as you can see from the rough finish at the tail. No big deal. I soaked some balsa sheets then formed them over the foam forms and let them dry to the rough shape, the glued them on with contact cement. The shape was a little distorted near the tail, so I will have a little bit of a job filling and shaping. The built-up area will be blocked out with flower shop foam and shaped.

I hope to get all the plugs done by next weekend so I can start on the wings, stab and rudder.
