Looking very nice Al!

You could compress that pile of shavings into another sheet of balsa...

The cowl is tacked glued in place so I can get some much needed measurements  on where everything will go.

The engine box is just stuck together and fitted so it will slide in and out until I get it all figured out.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to put the engine on hold until the can muffler system arrives.

So back to the wings.  Here's a pic of the landing lights and an idea as to what they look like.

I see the light placement is a little off on one and will have to be remade. Funny how I didn't see that on the plane but in the picture you can clearly see it. Huh

Your rate of production puts me to shame. It took me the whole weekend just to put two servos in the Cub wings. Grin

Awesome work, Al. Gawd, I love this plane!!

Well the engine is proving to be a bugger. I had to scrap my original plan and start over. Anyway this is what I have. It just bolts on to the front and is removable.

I clamped the fuse to the bench and set the engine on to center it.

Engine is now on. As far as the cans go, there still going to go in but I need to get another set of headers and some KS Comfort mounts to complete the set up.

So back to the never ending wings!   The head lights arrived so did some more at those.   These things are very bright. Cheesy
