Regarding the spars, did you laminate them with something other than CA? If so, what did you use? On my Fokker I laminated them as I soaked them. Very strong, but kind of irregular in the plan aspect...

Are you going to subject this to heat shrink?

And finally, you realize you have to do the fuselage now... Welcome to the vortex!!

I've never seen anything like this before. It's stunning and all from card too!

Great, I'm looking forward to the next yours update.

Thanks for the kind words!

Bo,

1) The spars were first laminated with good ol Elmer's white glue. It's much easier to position each piece this way. I soaked them in CA after the white glue dried.

2) I've been thinking a lot about the covering. I am going to heat shrink this, but I do want to keep some of this visible as a sort of frame model. I'm trying to think of a good way to do that and still have it in a "real life" situation. Maybe in a state of repair.

3) I've been thinking a lot about the fuselage, but it can't be as hard as this wing! 

4) The vortex. Somehow I blame you for pushing me into it!  . (Inspired by your work, of course)

Thanks for the tip, I guess I thought Elmer's would keep the CA from soaking in...

Have this post just discovered 
UNBELIEVABLE!
Love it. I really love it.

............................... and I always thought Bo is crazy................. 

And you are correct, Bertl......but, I hired a private detective and he discovered that Bo and George are actually twins separated at birth.....and you are their cousin. So insanity runs in the family.

George, this is just so wonderful, inspiring and invigorating. You are a demon with that scalpel, dude. Do you have surgical training or was is simply what you learned at Ninja Day Camp?

Will you be using any parts from the kit??

Yeah.  What he said.

Fantastic work to the wings. Very great build.

I thought that Des left me speechless…. but now you have too. I am simply reeling from looking at what you have achieved so far - I would not have believed it unless I had seen the photos.

Totally agree with Michael Scarborough's comments, but then I always thought that a degree of insanity was a good thing…. not sure about yours! Keep up the outstanding work.

Thanks Bertl, Michael, Bud, Martin, and Lone. It means a lot coming from you guys!

Bertl and Michael, calling me crazy and comparing me to Bo is the highest of praises! Thank you.

And yes, Michael, I used to be a plastic surgeon to the stars. After all, I am out here in LA LA land!

Spectacular work on the wing structure. Fantastic!
