Default One Design Build

I had a Godfrey One Design and lost the plane when the engine dead sticked, low , slow, down wind, windy. Total loss. I saved the fuselage and made templates and drawings of the remaining parts. I plan to build a new one and document the build here. I know this is the kit building forum, this will be just like kit build except I'm cutting the parts. I saved the cowl and canopy and these parts will be reused. If the moderator would like to move the build that's fine with me.
I see there's some new feature on the bottom of page, Product link, let's see what it's all about. This plane will be powered by a ZDZ 80 Super so I linked to the ZDZ link.
Here's the start, today I cut out both fuselage sides and added balsa sticks. The original had 1/4 spruce, I'm using 3/8" balsa. I selected hard sticks for front and light sticks for the back. The sides are 1/8" lite ply.
