Okay......coated engine compartment and fuel tank compartment with finishing resin
Installed 1/4" ply upper wing plate, braced with triangle stock for extra strength
cut 3/4" balsa triangle stock down to 3/8" high for the fuselage top
added 3/8" and 1/4" balsa top blocks and roughly rounded to shape

I'm waiting for my CB 2 3/4" spinner to arrive before I finish rounding the nose.

I must reference the instructions more often! I should have waited to glue the 1/4" ply upper wing plate until the wing is placed in the saddle. I'll undoubtedly need to cut it back out and realign with the wing in place.

Time to build some wings!
