Default RE: Ziroli Skyraider Build

Time to add the stringers and make sure everything is straight and line up properly. I use a laser line level and several bubble levels to make sure everything is line up correctly. With each new build I find myself getting better at certain things. I am also slowly accumulating better tools with each build to build straighter planes. The laser line level is one of those tools. Both the fuselages were framed out straight as could be and gave me a good starting point for adding the sheeting.

About this time I also won an auction on EBay for an F-15 pilot from Dragon. I'll be adding him to the cockpit of my dad's plane just because his club mate's are more critical of things like scale details and such. He flies out in Missouri while I fly in East Tennsessee where you are good to go as long as you can put an orange "T" sticker on your plane.

This is about the time when my wife started giving me dirty looks and started wondering what I was really doing in the basement when my two little boys accused me of playing with dolls in the basement.
