    Your inspector, rightly so, is keenly interested in the fuse-stab auto-connect area!

    Yes, especially the top of the fuselage around the trailing edge of the wing attachment...🙄

    The Swallow was a bit neglected (not to mention Gunny's 2-33 😳) while I built the 1-26...anyway, the inspector stopped by the shop to see what I was doing this morning!

    I'll give you $15.00 each for the cups with 450g of quarters. I need about... oh... say a thousand!

    Was going to buy some bricks like Jim has used.....then I had a thought

    4 oz specimen cups - Assorted coins ......= 400 grams per cup ....and they don't gouge wood if you slip.

    Dimes only and Quarters only are about 450 grams ....but not cost effective, as the Quarters only one holds about $25 worth of coins.

    Home improvement stores generally have a nice selection of aluminum in various shapes, lengths, and thicknesses. Many ways to use this material as tools to assist in building. Take this example!

    Thanks for sharing!

    As I wait for epoxy to cure on the Pawnee...........I think I might have a chance to catch up ....as your "distracted" with something bright and shinny......
    Looks like Mike and I are at the Swallow Rudder - completed - stage....

    This aircraft is modeled on the late version of the "Swallow" actualy know as a "Swift" the canopy area is quite different from the Swallow in that the original canopy was replaced with the dart canopy which changed the shape of the area quite considerably. Lovely model all the same.
