Thanks Alan, your comments are appreciated as always. Cool

Her is Stage 27. No real issues here, just that i had to widen the main spar aperture to fit the 4 x 4 strengthening batten (hence the clamps). But overall extremely pleased with the result Love

Roll on next month Drool

I've not built any big aircraft but it does look like fun - and different.

I bet it's a monster when it's finished.

Your not wrong there Roy, on both counts BigGrin
It’s a beauty to build, with the quality of the materials and the instructions are first class.
With a wingspan of just shy of 1 metre, she is a bigun Drool

Thanks for looking in. Cool
