Miles — yes, it is a kinda dumpy or cartoonish airplane. At this point it bears a very strong resemblance to a Ford Flivver airplane. Today’s pictures show the fuselage a little more accurately, but it’s still a little foreshortened.

I’ve fitted the left lower wing and started the installation of the right. It has an odd attachment system with two wires that pass through the fuselage in the position of spars, but the forward wire is quite short compared to the aft one. The ribs are very thin; the two inboard ones on each side have alignment holes for the front wire, but the outboard one just glues to the inside of the wing skin with no particular alignment noted. I think the picture explains what I mean, and the pencil marks are ones I made to get the ribs lined up properly.
