Here is the completed fuselage. To all the future builds, notice the blue tape. Do not glue those pieces together. Wait until after you put on the elevator.

The center section of the wing and center section of the fuselage where the wing fits is extremely strong and after a little trimming the wing fits perfectly.

The balsa and the structure are lighter and much more fragile than building a Guilloes kit. Because of my hairy hands and thick fingers I've broken sections of stringers and had to replace them.

I put on all the wing struts. The top wing had a slight curve so I had to weigh down one side.

This will be as far as I get for a while. I'll be traveling for work, returning in two weeks. I'll be sure to drop by and check everyone else's progress. Thanks for the help, tips, and motivation!

In the garage with another work in progress. This is a good shot of the 'anhedral' that was giving me so much trouble. Seems to have turned out OK thanks to Mr. Duckett's help.

I'm finally done with both the wings. I'm not that good at covering so it took me a while. Now I have to start on the rigging. That will be a challege with all the struts and wires.

Here is Orville on his pilot rests. The kit comes with picture cutouts to glue on. I'm not sure if I want to use those though.

Here are the fuselage pieces. The ones that look like L's go on the outside and the other ones go on the inside.
