Without video it wasn't practical to take pictures of the assembly process, all four sides had to go together at the same time. With these stamped models there is a lot of sanding and dry fitting which takes a long time. From the last set of pictures I have about fourteen hours into the fuselage assembly. There is no tail wheel assembly yet, I didn't like the stock one because it attached directly to the rudder, which on a bigger model is a bad idea. A bad landing or a hard hit on the larger tail wheels will really tear up a rudder, so it is better to use one with springs that attach it to the rudder. I bought one but it is too big so I have to exchange it for a smaller size. The engine I bought is a Saito 100 twin, (I will post pictures tomorrow) the firewall is back one inch so I have to figure out the best way to build it out. Any suggestions?
