Frames for the wing, stabilizer, and rudder. I am finding that push pins do a good job of holding the balsa.

All fuselage stringers added and sanded. I will try to fly this plane so no extra stringers will be added. Many of the formers have been slightly scalloped so that they will not contact the tissue covering.

Adding the stringers. Plans must be flipped over to view stringer locations, copying the plans would have been a good idea.

Keels and formers laid. Fit and finish of parts is not the best, but certainly not bad for a $7.50 kit.

Based on http://pldaniels.com/flying/balsa/balsa-properties.html it looks to me that the first two sheets of balsa (the formers) are C grade. The other sheets appear to be B grade.

Kit contents. I first built this same kit about 15 years ago, but it didn't turn out very well.
