This is getting better with every post. I am waiting on the edge of my seat to see how you fix the top wing and have my fingers crossed for you that it will go well.

Thanks Amigo! As for Not Much longer it depends on how much time I put into my other 3 projects  ;D

Thanks Stephen. I started toying with the struts this afternoon. We shall see how things go!

Wow, you are on the finishing line, Rick. Very nice to see this getting closer and closer to being complete. I cross my finger for the strut installment.

Some may notice a very slight change in the Thread subject. I have changed this to read Avis/Mikro Mir as I have decided to use the Mikro Mir wing. This effectively makes the Avis kit the same as the Mikro Mir Plastic.

Thanks for dropping in T. I appreciate the comment. I have begun the process of making the tripod struts more accurate. I used the Pheon jig and aligned the rear struts. I measured  the distance between the fuselage and wing to get the proper length for my new replacement strut on the front.

   A week away and a return to a broken computer make my comments a bit late Rick but She is looking mighty fine indeed! You are all but finished; been a long haul for us both on this subject and I look forward to seeing her with the wing finally attached!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Lance. I have been a bit anxious about mounting the upper wing to my revised strut arrangement. Well today I was test fitting yet again and the temptation to glue was overwhelming !

Congratulations Rick.  :)

Your strut re-engineering certainly has worked extremely well!

And your wing streaking looks great!
