So excited over the lil jumping bean, that I found the templates I had made for the Wee Duper Zilch.
Things have ben going pretty ok so far and then I decided to use some nice ff wood, that was between 1/16 and 1/32  for ribs and T.E. well.....It's hard when you are all thumbs but the wing was looking pretty ok too. I was holding the T.E and butting a "small drop" of thin CA onto the edge of the wingtip piece to the T.E. ......glued my thumb and index finger to the T.E. and oh so thin rib......NOW LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED! repairs to be initiated later.

Ken,

It's not a true aircraft until you have a) glued yourself to the airframe, thus becoming truly one with your plane, and 2) cut yourself and bled on the airframe, making a suitable sacrifice to the airplane gods...

I once glued my thumb to the building board, then my other finger to that thumb.  Then cut myself trying to get both apart....does that count?

that's actually pretty impressive. I would have to say that that counts!

looks like the 1st pix didn't go....just looks like a wing except for the warpanage in the TE from adding the cap strips. You might say I was surprised when I got through and looked at the trailing edge. When I fly it....might looks like one of Wilks cartoons of me running and it chasin.

Darn you Ken! Now i need to build one!
Looking sweet man

The latest on my 1/2-a we tethered zilch-drone. I've looked and looked but cannot find a battery hatch to put "secret code"

Hummm...Boris

seems to me battery hatch to put "secret code" was but one suggestion describing an area that is easily accessible

there be some others you might consider easily accessible with no tools

What THEY said:

Methods to display aircraft identification: To ensure that the small unmanned aircraft can
be identified, the FAA will require that the unique identifier must be maintained in a condition
that is legible. The unique identifier must be affixed to the small unmanned aircraft by any
means necessary to ensure that it will remain affixed to the aircraft during routine handling and
all operating conditions.

For small unmanned aircraft registered under this part, the FAA does not specify a
particular surface upon which the unique identifier must be placed. Rather, recognizing
commenters’ concern about the small size of many of the small unmanned aircraft that must be
registered, the FAA simply requires that the unique identifier must be readily accessible and
visible upon inspection of the small unmanned aircraft.

In accordance with Task Force recommendations, a unique identifier is deemed readily
accessible if it can be accessed without the use of any tools (e.g., battery compartment). This
flexibility is expected to resolve the concerns of the television and motion picture industry and
preserve the authenticity of a replica if so desired, given that the unique identifier need not be
displayed on the exterior of the small unmanned aircraft.

Note please that Legible does not specify at what magnification...grin...

I think a micro dot anywhere on the exterior may satisfy brother Boris's need for stealth
