Time for a few more pix. I haven't been taking them as I go, so what you see is what it looked like this morning when I left the house.

The wings are mostly sheeted. I only have to install the wheel wells (1/16" balsa wrapped around a 2" rattle can for a mold), then cover the center section around the wheels and aileron servo panel, and add cap strips to the top side of the outer three ribs. And make the 1/2" thick tips.

The DB pushrod spars are not installed at this time - they are used as a jig to build, but removed so that I can work easily. They get glued in when I attach wings to fuselage. The big paper tube is .5" ID model rocket body tube used as a conduit for the servo and retract leads.

The fuselage has barn door access. The front hole will be covered by a door when the gear is up. The rear one is the battery hatch and it will be held in with magnets. You can also see the 3/8" sq stab framing. The elevator servo will be installed behind the rear hatch, accessed through the air exit hole (yet to be opened up).

My plan is to finish it the same as my Kaos - white and orange with black and silver trim. Spektrum colors, of course.
