My many thanks to the following people for their extremely kind comments;
Terri, Martin, Ian, Barry, Michael, LM, Verbeek, Matz, Bud, Ondra, George, UFAG and Rick.
To answer your question Ondra I taped the longerons to the plan using Tamiya tape, then I fitted each of the frame members using plastic glue. Once both sides were made I again taped each side standing upright to the plan and glued the bottom frame members, once dry I reversed the fuselage frame and did the same with the top. It is important to make sure that the glue is fully cured before removing the section from the plan.
Barry, The first of this type had wings with a slight back sweep, the following models had straight wings, I will be trying to build the one depicted in the plans.
Matz and Bud, I will attempt to move the pilot seat as far forward as possible which will allow more of the woven section exposed for a second person to sit. The woven frame I made is the same size as in the book so it did not protrude over the front of the fuel tank, not as far as I can see, a little more investigation is required before things are glued in place. I did come across one picture of the two seats side by side but for the life of me can't find it now, it pays to save things as soon as I find them.
