Well the fuselage is pretty much complete, so I've moved on to the wings. It is here that I hit my first snag. It seems that the foam cores for the left and right half are not the same width of chord at the tip. They are the same at the root, however, as evidenced in the first two pics. This became obvious when I was test fitting the wingtips, as the first tip was a perfect fit, and the second had about a 1/8th inch overhang on the leading edge when the trailing edge was lined up perfectly. To resolve this, I've added a 1/8th wide strip of balsa to the leading edge of that wing, for about the outer 2/3rds of the span. I'll have a fun time trying to make that one perfect taper from root to tip, im sure

Additionally I've noticed that there are some other subtle assymetrical features of the two halves, like where the various embedded spars and holes are at the root. So in short, the foam work on this kit does not live up to the quality of the glass work. Oh well, not a huge issue... i hope...
