A dry fitting the wings revealed a host of issues...big, fat trailing edges being one of them...that sort of thing bugs the hell out of me. The top wing half tapered down nicely enough, so I decided to scratch some flaps, to pose open (I LOVE IT!!!). I also added shims along the wing roots (on fuselage side) to help the wing/fuse joint.

Back to the others, while this one dries.
yeah... why settle for the simple solution of sandling the trailing edge to an appropriate thinness... :stirpot: ;)

That scratch work looks great sir! :bow: :dogwag:

Simply fantastic work. Digging the s/b seat...
Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley
