Hi Sketchin!

Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad that you find the thread useful.

I finally made it to the LHS and am about ready to fill in a few cracks, well, actually gaps, between some of the wing sheeting. I've also mounted the covers over the aileron bell cranks and am cutting out slots in them now. I hope to have pictures of that soon. I've noticed that the instructions told me to completely cover the center section with sheeting, which I have done. Later, they'll tell me to cut out the sheeting where the aileron servo goes and then mount it. That looks like lots of fun. I'll be sure to consult with you and Senrak when I get to that point!

I'm also looking forward, with horror I might add, to gluing and sanding the endpieces to the wings.

I was at our airfield yesterday and met up with a member from another club selling some planes from the collection of a recently deceased member. I was able to pick up a new Top-Flite Spitfire kit for $75. It was a great deal, but I am saddened by the circumstances. That leaves me with another plane to build! My collection of unfinished models is increasing . It's now up to a Hanger-9 Miss America P-51 ARF, a Kyoshi (sp?) Pitts Special, a foamy Corsair, and a Sig 4-star 60 that I need to repair for a friend. So much fun to look forward too!!
