Progress Report

Sorry, no updates recently. The first wing was finished just before the VRQ and getting ready for that sidetracked me, then Christmas activities intervened and finally I had a bout of flu so nothing much happened for a few weeks.

I am now back on the case and the second wing has now been built. To build the opposite panel I traced the wing layout through to the other side of the plan by taping it to a window on a sunny day so the details showed through. The instructions now move on to joining the wing panels and fabricating ailerons and tips but I am going to start on the fuselage next and come back to the wings later.


The basic panels. Each one takes less than a week to complete, an hour or two per evening. Good old PVA wood glue slows up proceedings.





Root section is based on E374, I believe.








Tip section is symmetrical.
