I've sanded the empennage and cut some trim tabs, plus added doublers to the fuselage side:

The wings has been sanded and the joins reinforced, the fuselage doublers have been cut to size, the whole sanded and the uprights to the pylon added:

I've added some wing supports to the centre section strut and a wing seat to the bottom fuselage. Front and rear landing gear has also been added, the front being bound where it joins the fuselage. Doublers have also been added behind the lower wing for a wing-band retaining peg.

Wood sealing next.....

The doublers are 1/64" ply, John. I'm using Aliphatic resin as an adhesive, which dries clear. The red glue-lines are in the ply, which came with the kit. The engine is pictured in post no 76 above.

The most difficult cut to make is the first one coleighf, so grab an existing plan, pick up some balsa and go for it. The original Ebenezer design is a good one to start with and it lends itself to some stunning colour schemes. You can always design your own at a later date....or even bring 2 to the meeting on 13th May at Old Warden.

I normally turn up with around five or six to make up the numbers!

Thanks Andy, decisions, decisions! I'll take your advice and do an original Ebenezer and probably put my lovely 0.5 Mills in it. I've also got my indoor Depron "Ebenezer", inspired by the Veron Vespa thread. I might do a balsa version of that as well for outdoor. Photos I've tried to add before and failed, trying again.

Here's the other photo I meant to include. I suppose I could have called it an "Indoornezer"? I might increase the dihedral from the existing 5 degrees for free flight, all of the other detail, areas etc should be ok, I think.
