All,


Greg Perry gave me this guy a while ago since I've always liked the machine and now I want to start it! After finishing the lovely Camel, I've been warned that this kit will ruin the honeymoon. So, I decided to start with something that I could figure out first. Some of the directions are pretty sketchy. I started with the wing outer panel inner structure which seemed to make sense after some head scratching and trial fitting. So far, fit is excellent and it's pretty darn ingenious. It gives a really solid base for the eventual skins (unlike the multiple spar sections on the Camel). Won't be any warping or dips in the covering. Maybe my 1/32nd balsa helps but so far, so good.
