Default BALSA USA DRI kit

I am finally getting around to building my BALSA USA 1/4 Scale Triplane. Any suggestions or things I need to know/do or fix while working on it? This is my first build and I want it to be as accurate as possible. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Paul

Paul,

Keep in touch. I am building one as well. Just finished the lower wing, tail feathers and sub wing. Takes me a long time to build as I have all of these other projects. Be careful with the wings, sheeting and if you decide to wet the top sheeting for the wings to get it to bend around the leading edges. I did this and wound up warping the wing and it took me 6 months of working on it to get the wing straight. I was hoping to fly this year but I am sure it will be next. I have a new Zenoah G26 to put in it. I am using white glue, CA's and epoxy to build with. Show some pictures if you can.

Any update on your DR-1. My father has been very ill and I have not done anything this year including any flying.
