    I left these off of the earlier post. #21 is after I used the pencile.

    My next problem area. The bracing does not line up. I did a little dry fitting and I may be able to bend everything into position. If not, I will have to make new holes for the bracing. What fun

    Looking good though. Hope you get the struts aligned ok - take it slow and steady and it should work.

    I think the problem is that the canopy is not correct. The gap that I filled with white glue may have caused to struts not to line up. The wings attach to the canopy. Since the canopy is out of position the structs will also be off. My original plan was to file the canopy to make it set flush with the nose. I started sanding and was worried about getting the shape wrong. I then went with using glue as a filler. I should has gone with the first plan. The right side is almost correct but the left is bad. The longest strut was to long and I had to sand it down a little. It is a good thing that I did several test fittings or it would be worse.

    Today I attached the wings and wheels. After a little touch up painting and decals it will be finished. I will post the photos soon.

    Next set of photos.

    I used filler to make the canopy flush with the back deck.

    Photos 4-8

    Attaching the wings. The last two shots show how the strut does not line up with the hole. If I attached the strut, the wing would bow up. A little sand paper fixed the problem.
