Got started today with unpacking and inventory.

Some of the ply sheets were more "die embossed" (vs die cut) because I had to do the "cut" part; only cut about half through. I ended up with a broken utility knife through my finger nail and into the finger during that part! Also several pieces of ply had a layer or two break from the smaller jut-outs and these were glued back too.

Also, some of the balsa sheet for the wing ribs were hard to get the temporary "stub break-aways" out without them "breaking away" all to soon; I had to glue several back on and I hope this will not distort the placement/angle of these.

I guess I was spoiled by the last kit; SIG laser cut was a dream compared to all the cutting and time required to get these parts out. And I still have to sand them yet also.

I had a problem with one inventory balsa stick (EXT6W15); parts list showed it as 3/16" x 9/16" x 24" but there is no mention of this in the plans. They do have a 3/32" x 9/16" x 24" and this was in the Sticks #1 bundle so I will go with the error being on the inventory and not the shipped stick.

Tomorrow I will draw out the elevator mods and finalize my plans for that; hope to get some glue flowing too (will be using Titebond II for most of this; regular titebond for larger laminations and CA only when necessary).
