Thanks a lot, Isaac. Slowly but surely!
I got much more done than I thought today with skinning the wings, adding the wing root skins and attaching said wings to the stubs. I hope I haven't shot myself in the foot but I think this will help me align the tails. The two wings spars have triangular ends that fit into a box you make by sandwiching some straight pieces on either side. When you slide them it, the dihedral is correctly set. Sort of ingenious as far as I'm concerned. I do know, however, that I could never make this thing with all cardboard from cereal boxes. My balsa has made things so much easier (for me).
There are a few rough spots and some touch up, but I'm pleased overall.
Now I need to figure out the back and tails and the rather long and tortuous fillet. Oh my...
