Default RE: Balsa USA Eindecker 90 build.

I got my chores done early and did have time to start the build. My first recommendation will be for yall that are used to laser cut kits is, you may have to actually use some sandpaper on this kit. [X(] By far this is the best die cut kit I have ever seen!.

I used medium CA to join the front and aft fusealge sides together and the joint was just slightly different from the drawings. The manual warned of the drawings being different from the actual parts due to the paper being subjected to temperature extreems so I joined the fore and aft right fuse side by fit. It's a good thing I did and I should of thought ahead and layed over the ply doubler before gluing the fore and aft fuse sides. The mark of a good kit is when the dummy gets it right!

I used weights insted of using pins when gluing the ply doubler to the fuse sides. Being a tightwad I used some left over washers from work put in ziplock bags as weights.

So far, so good. I like this kit alot!
