| Straightened it. Reinforced th spine and filled in the nose. Lots of filling and sanding to go. From here the front former for the intkes goes at the blue line, then blend in the intakes. So far, so good. |

| Looks srtaight, doesn't it. I used Elmer's wood glue, dried over night and it decided to bow hard right. |

| Finally got 2 sets of scale drawings. They match, but unfortunately the plans don't - coke bottle shape missing and the wings and tail feathers are too big. Looks like it will be a scratch built. There are enough different cross sections to make formers and I'll use the method from DD's Mossie fora athe fuse and use 1/8th stringers for the skin like the Today's Hobbies kits. Intakes will be the toughest I think. |
