Next stage. Lower wings.

There is my idea how to make sunken shape. I bind part like on the first photo. Next I put part on the ruler, like on the photo 2, and I push light part on the edge by finger. Finished effect shown on the photo 3.



Somewhere in internet I found metod to make catch for wings strings. It is very easy to make. I make U-bind from thin wire (from small transformer). Next I use tool (on the middle) binded like hook. I hook this tool on U-bind, catch ends between fingers and I turn tool. There is finnished catch on the right, photo 4.
Next I paint catch, put it into small hole in the part, bind and put smal drop of super glue. Photo 5. Finished effect is on photo 6.



to be continued ....

Hello again.
There is time to show next, very important, stage in building progress. I thought long time how to fit proper wings to fuselage. Top wings are separated. This is my idea - jig.



There is plane in JIG.



And here after glue drying.



JIG tested positive.
I started with rigging, just to make stronger this konstruction. Tomorrow I will finish rigging, make landing gears, propeller and ... model will be finished.
