I'm thinking it will be very happy on grass and will be a good fit at any field in the zone. Not going to be a full blown build thread but Ill put pics up here and there along the way if there's an interest.

I thought you'd be just finishing up the painting and applying the decals by now. This should be a great project!

This is screwed onto a board to keep it all straight.

It takes shape very quickly using this method. I think this going to be a easy fuse to build.

Made a little more progress. The stringer were easy but after a few planks were installed I had to taper and bevel both ends and it still wants to go astray. This part of the build is slow.

(the rear bulkhead - do you cut that open? doesnt seem to be much of a frame left if you do?) Brian

There's a small extension on the end to get the taper.
