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.

With a coat of dope and one sanding done the main components are tacked together with masking tape to see how it looks.

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.

These are the rudder struts. The skinny one goes on top and the wider one goes on bottom.

I added balsa filets on the wing tips rather than the stringers the plans called for. I think they look far better than stringes and paper.

Fit is snug and with a little trimming/sanding the fit should be almost perfect.
