The fuselage is basically finished. The fuselage joint that goes through the “T” in the word TOUR is not glued yet so I can fit the fuselage into a box that I have to travel with. I glue steel washers into the fuselage so the magnets in the stand will grip the model and keep it in place. But I seriously misjudged the balance point on this model. You can see how far aft the balance point is, even without the wings and tail pieces added. The washer in this model is about the midpoint of the wing to fuselage glue joint. Now I have to figure out a way to move the washer back a few inches. Definitely put nose weights in this model if you plan to have it on its landing gear.
