Looking good Phil - a couple of round holes in R2 would not go amiss.
Inch holes not funny metric ones.

I'm liking these build threads, great variety of aircraft being built and great to see both kits and plan builds happening. So far so good Phil, I don't envy you the covering job with the undercamber !!!

Fin Finished. Imperial holes, Colin. Didn't save much, as can be seen, but it's stronger.

Spent today getting ready to build the wings. Sanded the ribs to make them the same shape, also cut out various gussets and made ready for the wing joiners.
There is only one wing spar. Looks lonely. Do I add more? Now is the time.

Phil - Great hand launching technique , she's welcome to launch my gliders at Cashmoor.
No name's mentioned but can only be an improvement over some launches - nose high , tip stall but enough power
to get away with it.

Starboard wing, nearly ready to cover. I decided to leave it as designed, so no extra spars, Mike.



I will complete the location tubes with laminating epoxy after the wings have been offered up to the fuselage.
You can just make out the built in washout at the tip.
