Been busy with the wings a lot of dry fitting and sanding then measure recorrect then measure again does not help when the wings are bigger than your table lucky the wife was out and the front room was free. the outer wing panel are now glued to the center section the engine nacelles are in place with the fire walls at the correct angle the undercarriage has been fitted and tested need to remove for fuel proofing first of two engine mounts on with engine fitted these have been temporary fitted as still need to fuel proof one thing i have learnt is to mark the parts up or down left or right as this does help when finally glueing together lucky for 30min glue

UPDATE Fuselage is final sheeted still alot of filling and sanding to be done, The balsa filler i have does not seem right maybe an old batch so have ordered some more different brand. the rear hatch and canopy are removable the rear hatch will be held on by the covering as per instructions, the canopy i will be using magnets and a dowel to hold this on as the switches will be in the nose area. When sanding need to be careful not to put your finger through the balsa skin as some areas can be thin. Fuselage now been put to the side will waiting on the filler so been looking at the center wing section this is where you need to follow the instruction to the letter so have been busy rereading them over a cuppa will dry fitting the parts.

Been away for a bit suffer with the back, Final managed to finish's of the fusealge skinning a lot of sanding at the aft end. rudder and elevator push rods are in place and connected to the tail wheel, will be doing the removeable rear hatch so i can check on the clevis will be changing the clevis to metal instead of the plastic one's As long as you follow the instructions you can not go wrong take each step slowly. Balsa filler is now drying then just a quick sand to shape. Need to make the canopy removable as this is where the batteries will be going to use magnets to hold down the canopy. Big thank you to Pyramid models for the decals of the Reg number, Mission symbols and aircraft name
