LOL! My workout is either on the cardiostrider bike and the elliptical machine. Haven't done weights yet. The missus usually hits the treadmill while I'm on those machines.

Hey buddy, you got the most important thing: Cardio. 100%. While I recommend some form of strength training (barbells, kettlebells, Persian Yoga, etc.), the Cardio is the most important. Like we say: “SOLVITUR AMBULANDO.” So good on ya!!

I enjoy wing roots that don’t need fills;





And here’s the strut I broke and had to fix:



I sanded down the leading wing edges and got them nice and smooth. I also sanded and smoothed the seam just under the nose in front of the oil cooler. This kit does a good job of eliminating that pesky seam down there on the oil cooler that vexes me so much with the Eduard version, by engineering it so that you install the eintore piece just like on the real aircraft, but there’s that seam at the very front. I’m going to try Brice’s CA trick on it:

Progressing very nicely, Kenny! A neat wing root seam always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Me too my man, me too,

I had to do some sanding on two protrusions from the upper sides to make it happen, but yeah, that little bit of extra effort and attention was totally worth it.

I have a genuine love for Emil's..... this looks wonderful so far!

The comments quickly dissolve into a “plane versus plane” discussion which despite being essentially harmonious, takes away from having Jim’s interesting presence within the group. Otherwise my Sunday is peaceful.

I can imagine so. If the discussion devolved into that, it would akin to gamers talking to combat infantry vets over how they should do their business. Actual experience vs book and virtual knowledge of a subject.

Good morning, and thank you!

Emils are a favorite of mine, I really enjoy building them, and I’m really happy to be building another of Galland’s aircraft.

It really shouldn’t baffle me that adults would devolve into such elementary school level discussions, but it does. Every time. And it makes me feel silly.
