You're not at all Dane, and yes, thank you Larry for all of your efforts and contributions to our hobby, wishing you the best!
Started chipping away on the PT last night...
So far, since I prefer to finish balsa more than I do plywood, I've laminated a 1/32" balsa sheet to what will be the exterior sides of the fuse. I used a very thin layer of 30 minute epoxy and then weighted it down to cure. I am also going to cut about 3/8" off all along the top of the sheet fuselage sides for a lower finished profile, simply for a better look.
I razor sawed a centerline in the wing and gave it a 1/2" of dihedral at each tip, again only for a better finished appearance. I reinforced the bottom of the wing at that section with some cloth tape and 30 minute epoxy as well. Once the wing is attached to the fuse I'll then add a fillet using Aero-Fil and it'll be all good to go.
I've decided to use the plywood stab and elevator and I have them sanded and ready for hinging with CA and some fishing line. I do think I'll make a new fin and rudder from 1/8" balsa.
I'll also be bending up a new landing gear using some slightly heavier wire than what was provided in the kit. Another detail will be substituting a 2-56 threaded rod and clevis for the stock kit pushrod.
I'll add some photos when I have a little more time...
