From my taxi tests, it seems like the ground handling is going to be a bit squirly. The relatively narrow gear, and the big prop and small rudder are factors I guess. Have to go easy on the throttle for take off.

A quick trip to the pool for some pics. Just the top wing to cover now.

Wheels now have covers. They are just paper disks over the GWS spoked wheels.

Lower wing and undercarriage now on. The uncovered wings are just mocked up. The cowl is held on with tiny magnets. First taxi trials have already taken place - she moves!

Undercarriage. I'm using GWS 2 inch lightweight wheels. I will cut out paper discs to hide the funky spokes. Small wire axles have been epoxied onto each side.

Covering the fuselage underneath the tail plane. White glue was applied to the frame, then the tissue was layed on, and more white glue brushed over the tissue. It should dry nice and taught.

Showing where the cables exit the fuselage. This will all be covered over, the small outlets will be left open.
