Thank you Kamco Kid super fast delivery!! I have you left feedback on Ebay.
I will start this as soon as I can, I am sure Tony's will be finished far far quicker than mine
I will be fitting an SC .36 that I bought for a Prangster that I never used!

Somebody called me 'pretentious' the other day.
I nearly choked on my latte.

I have laid the plan out, pinned down the main spar and dry fitted the ribs to it.
Their will be some differences to Tony's Kavalier mine will have a stinky anti social engine up front

and as was discussed in Tony's thread I will build the tailplane out of a solid 6mm sheet instead of a built up one

I plan on putting a servo in each wing, I will be using a thicker rib and beef it up with some ply where the servos will mount.

I don't think you need to use a thicker rib AND beef it up with ply Dean. All you are doing is adding weight. In my bigger models I just use a lite ply substitute for the balsa ribs either side of the servo bay and glue in a ply plate between those ribs to mount the servo.

I have fitted thicker balsa ribs where the servo hatches will mount.
Some wood for the build!
wing dry fitted
wing all glued together
Have now started glueing the ribs to the L/H wing panel.
