Nice job Isaac. You did do a great job on the petals. The fuselage is coming along very nicely.

Thank you guys for following this build.
I needed something that follows the theme of experimental jets and this was one of them. The construction so far is simple. Isaac

Horizontal fin
Here is the horizontal tail fin. My only addition is the wood center spar for better support.
parts   and installed  The wood spar will be trimmed to size later Note : do not glue the vertical end fins at this point because they are flimsy and will fall off during handling. Those will be added later at the end. Isaac

Wings
the first thing needed is to build the frames. Those are supported by metal rods thru the fuselage.
 I like this type of structure because it is simple and light. Here is the assembled wing frame ( including the landing gear bay ).   The wing skins are next. Notice that the wing comes in inner and outer section due to the dihedral on the outer wing panel.  here is the wing  dry fitting the frame to the metal rods   dry fit the wing   now both wing frames are on  glue frames in place using CA ( super glue ).   Isaac

Wings on
The wing skins are slipped on and glued in place
    add the root fillet  Technical comment on the actual aircraft design: If this was intended to be a fighter plane, then the wing is way too large for any meaningful speed or maneuverability. This prototype would have needed major modifications to be an effective fighter plane ( and much bigger jet engines. But that's later. Isaac
