School's been keeping me busy, but I've been putting a little work in each day. I've got both the H-stab and V-stab ready for hinges, wings arr basically ready to join, and fuselage sides have the first few crossbraces drying. The rudder still needs some work and there's reinforcements, attachments, and trays to put on the fuselage
All the pieces so far laid out ^
Unfortunately, the tops of the fuselage sides are curved slightly where the wing sill sit, which will cause headaches when I get to making the wing cradle. On the topic of the wing, I'm thinking of putting sheeting on the leading edge as a little more strength and to give the covering a little more to adhere to. I might put strips of sheeting on the ribs as well for the same reasons. The ribs are 1/8 and 3/32 wide, which seems like too little for the covering to adhere to. I've never worked with film covering, so what do yall think?
