| Put the pieces together in their approximate positions they will eventually go...the tape just makes it look classy. I can understand why people thought they were seeing a UFO when the looked up and saw this thing in the air |

| Cut and shaped the elevators and rudders. Elevs are two piece wrapped, rudders are three sheets of basswood pressed together. Basswood sure takes awhile to sand, but it looks good when its done! |

| Attached the propeller nacelle tubes and made the engine intake boxes. Put the first two planks down on the front, but have to fab and install LGs first. |

| During a pre-Easter out of town trip we were able to make some templates for a simplfied profile version of the S-99. For the wings we are using an earlier Guillows Bf 109 model of about 11 1/2 wingspan. It should build up pretty quick. |

| Our next swing control project. A 500 series Me 109 converted to an Avia S-99 modified for swing control flight. The S-99 was a Czech built Me 109G-10 with the DB 605 engine. Czechoslovakia had airframes and about 20 of the DB engines for this version. They built more of the Jumo powered version designated the S-199, some of which were used by Israel. The Czech S-99 were used by their civil air police. Note the civil registration and modified insignia. |
