Tony
Looks very nice.
Is that a slight 'adjustment' to the tailplane leading edge shape towards the tip?

yes there was a "slight" adjustment to the leading edge needed, won't be seen once sanded and covered.
well lets put this afternoons work up.
Rudder and elevator clamped in place.
elevator trim tabs made and tacked in place.
Then i sat down and sorted 22 balsa wing ribs.
need to finish 3 more ply ribs still.
out of balsa now, so it will have to go on hold until i get some.

right people.
The inner ply wing ribs are all cut and sorted.
wing rods cut, wing sleeves cut.
top of the wing and fuselage is now gluing.
when set i can turn it over and run more epoxy in from underneath and clean up the drips.
wing inner section, not glued cos that wont be done until after the wing has been built.
the wing will have a very slight dihedral, so that when you fit the working struts you will pull the wing down tight so nothing moves (i hope)
thats it now until i get some more wood.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Cover it with cling-film! Then peeps can see the work that went into it while it flies! (Just keep it very close!)
