Default RE: Sig Citabria Build

Three am? I believe that I am sound asleep at that time. Although I really enjoy building these planes, I don't think I could work on them that late and still be up at 5 to get ready for work. [] I squeeze in my building time while my daughter takes her naps.

I've made a bit more progress, but nothing photo worthy. I've finished building the elevators, but need to sand them down. I've also made progress on the wing. I've soldered the elevator control linkages together under the center section and I have sheeted the center section. I started sheeting the areas under the bell cranks too. However, I noticed that the instructions state to use the 1/16 x 3 inch balsa for this. In order to cover up the bell cranks as shown in the instructions, I'll need to use 2 pieces of balsa for each bell crank.

I was going to fill in a couple of gaps between the sheets over the center section, but found out that my filler has dried out. It looks like I need to take a trip to the LHS!
