Landing gear wire bent.
I use just one length of 1/8th wire 2+9+9+2 inches instead of 2 pieces. I hope I have this right from what I understood from the build video.

Looks good to me!
Not asymmetric like when I build my FT Simple Stick. I have No idea how I did it, but somehow the middle bend was not in the middle but over by about the amount of the axle bend. LOL

That’s how mine often turn out for some reason.😂

Day 5
All sheets have been cut. I had to use an extra sheet of foam board to remake a couple of parts so 9 sheets in total. Apart from my first Scout XL I think the FT Seaduck that I built last year is the only other plane that used so many sheets. I am going to start work on the wings today but first need to make some bench space as they will need a lot.

For the wings it looks like the FT SBK uses double foam board sheets as in the build video the upper and lower parts of the wings are connected. As I only have single sheets the 2 halves have to be taped together and then the bevel cut made. I used my beveling tool in the photo which makes a perfect bevel cut.

Day 7
Wing completed, just need to install servos.
The only issue that I ran into was this part does not fit.
Josh say's in the build video its only needed for extreme flying so I'll leave it out for the moment.

I was looking at the spar reinforcement on the plans yesterday and noticed it won't fit. I removed 4.8 mm from the bottom and will be using 2 of them in my build. I haven't cut the ply yet, so all good. Glad I'm not the only one to see that.

I did the same and made it one layer of foam board shorter in height and reprinted it. Its now glued in.

Before installing the servos in the wings I figured I'll wait until the fuselage is complete. This way I know how long the servo extensions need to be.
One thing I missed from the plans was the FuselageWingMountPlate and since this is plywood I have 3d printed it.
The front part of the fuselage is complete.
