Thanks for the support RAGIII, Andreas, Lance, Ken and Terri! I suppose you're all familiar with the problem of model building?! The further you get in the building process the more there is to ruin and because of that you tend to risk less and less, but how do you evolve as a builder if you don't take risks? The exit ports just had to be fixed, there was no way around that. Next, though, I won't wait until this late stage!
I don't know if this image is from before or after the upper wing was actually glued on, but the result, once I dared use glue, was good. Not too much force used!
Time to rig that plane! I went with monofilament, home made attachment points and Bob's Buckles for the tubing. A few scary moments when I pulled out several of the attachement points, or when I almost tied a knot on one of the flying wires, but in the end it turned out well. There are a few scratches that I have to deal with later.
I had left the anchor points off of the wing struts because I thought it would be too tricky to thread them if they were fixed in place. It turned out to be tricky to try and attach the anchor when it was on the wire, so I attached the second anchor before threading and that worked better.
Next up: wheels! I suppose that the bracing wire should attach to that second "dimple" on the back leg?!
It might actually be done before 2020 and it looks like I started the build just before the end of 2017!
