My choice too, on cheeked airframes. Either a hub nut or a hub type spinner. I do have a standard spinner on my cheeked Senior Tele but only because that's what I had on hand back then. Definitely could look better
Oh well, no matter. It flies terrific...."Nothing flies like a Tele".....they say and the FG21 runs like a dadgummed sewing machine.

Hanger rash but I should have it repaired for a spring flight. I am shopping a new club membership and plan on joining in April when I qualify for a Senior membership. I'll see if I can rope someone in to film a video for me.

The RH 80 arrived this PM by UPS, the box is unmarked, they did a super pack job. The first instruction is to follow the order of the instructions so you will not cut wood short that you need longer in later steps. More later.

Step 1: Follow the rest of the steps. I love it, hard to go wrong that way.
That said, some of the Guillows kits I built should have read:
Step 1: After cutting out all the of die-crunched parts from the panels and repairing all the broken ones, nothing will fit right.
Step 2: Good luck, sucker!

I would give my left arm for a Shoestring. My favorite vintage racer without question.
I like precise, all eleven ribs are exactly on the line they're supposed to be on. No fudging needed.

Thankyou, the .25" x .25" upper and lower subspars are next, the leading edge is a piece of .375" square, basswood, I hope it doesn't need much shaping. The 125 is getting the nod. Each shear web has little tabs that go halfway through the rib and meet the previous one.
