so made a start on the plane. I am doing the double tab as the planes have rather than cut one off and use just one tab.

I just thought of a different method that seems to work on the wings for zio's planes start building from the middle part that goes to the fuselage top first then the bottom i thought of this to late since i done one part of the top portion of the wing and it is working out fairly well now. . I think they work out better if you work outwards from the middle on both sides.

That's the exact wing build procedure that I've come to use on the Zio models and it seems like that's what Zio had in mind when he designed them, at least some of them. I look forward to following your progress on this one.

oh it worked well on one side and the other i think is slightly longer after measuring it it seems the top part is about three milimeters smaller than the one the other one overall but i am trying to get it to work not the less as best it can

It's been about 6-8 years, but my successful built of the Corsair I think I built the wings all the way first, then added them on to the fuselage. Also, I think I put the top wings together, then joined the leading edges of the wings, and then bottom.
I think it took me 3 tries, but it did work out well enough to put on a display at a gift shop.
