Getting the DLE 55 from the last Bucker repaired for this one, but I think a 60cc Saito 3 cylinder petrol four stroke would be very good in it instead 
And the DLE could go in the Revolver when I get it back here at the end of August, I will be in the UK for the whole of August dog sitting for my son while they are on holiday, do you have any fly ins that month Garry

Got a bit of time on it today between other jobs so started on the top centre panel, cut the ply ribs and trailing edge
And got some of it glued together

I sent Slec a email telling them that I thought when I first read the delivery charges I had to look at the calendar as I thought we were in May and not April the first
No reply was the answer
I think this will be the end of my scratch building as it has become a none viable option, maybe I built the hanger to soon

Done a little more, with the order from slec I had a wing tube in it so with that order cancelled I went through my crashed box and found some fibre glass tube took it to the local DIY store and found some ally tube exact size
The wing on the plan are held only by the rigging, but I thought it must be a struggle to put it together without something to hold one set of wings on, so installed the tube in the top wing

Outstanding work. Gonna be a beauty.
Just curious why you didn't install an outer spar tube in the outer wings? Seems it would make it a bit easier to slide the wing on. The latest idea I've heard for holding wings together is using magnets. Since there is very little pressure to separate the wings, especially with the flying wires attached, magnets would be all that's needed.
