Thanks Frank and Dan
Frank , resin kits really aren't all that different then plastic kits , but some do need a little extra attention and others and will challenge your skills .
Gaz , I have built a few balsa planes , but I could never get them to actually fly .
Small steps where made yesterday by finishing the clean up of the parts , sanding and test fitting each former to the inside of the fuselage and cutting the notches for the runners . Starting from the rear bulk head working my way forward . I cut the runners longer this time to allow for the curve and will trim once the fire wall is in place where it should be . I also took the time and added the engine mount frame to the back side of the firewall . This is set aside to full try before I add the other frame parts . While this is curing I started having a look at the engine . My kit came with the white metal one and was cast deformed . Trying to file this out was becoming a nightmare so I pulled a resin one out of the parts bin . ( old eduard kit ) Will not be using the PE push rods part doesn't fit on either engine away . So detail will be added .
