I cut out small metalsupporters from square metal at my job, it’s a good help when gluing ribs and other stuff that needs too be square.

I’ll soon be cracking on with the wing. Have a Saito 56 fourstroke that I’ll put in the plane. These kind of oldtimers don’t need a big engine. That’s all for now.

It’s only 3 channel and I put rudder on rudder stick and not on aileron. I’m used to fly with ailerons so made a mistake  at landing and the front wheel  left the plane. Yes it’s snow  in the background 😁

It’s a 3 channel plane. Had to install servos, fueltank and engine. I had an old Enya 019 lying around so I put that in the plane. The servobay was made for old big ones. Had some old Futaba servos that was just spot on.

Have just started with the fuselage. It’s going to be a quite big model for 3 channel radio. I really recommend Ben Buckle kits, great service and fast shipping. The quality of the kit is also high. Think I’ll cover it with tissue over doculam. Have seen…

There will be a few items that need to be constructed or purchased. The first thing is you going to need a really flat and clean surface. I purchased 2 5 foot shelves from Lowes and joined them together with 3 piano hinges.
