Woops! must have got it wet.

Larry, it looks really nice. Good job done!
What engine?

Sorry but to small for me It belongs to a club member. Jim Berbwick has a Norvel 061 in it and will fly on 42 ft lines y1 y1 y1

I'm impressed. I bet when it is covered, it will fly even better! ;D

Is it going to have flaps?

Flaps! of course, it's a Nobler #^ #^ #^ #^ #^ y1 y1

Looks good to this point. Don't forget the finished pictures and the flight report.

Any data on wing area? And of course final weight. I think you will find that 46' to 48' lines will be more appropriate. We fly on that length with 2" pitch props!
This is a 50% Greenbox Nobler built by Don Butman and refinished by moi. It took 1st in Sport at the recent AMA Convention (against all the R/C stuff!) It will do the entire pattern, though the controls are a bit squirelly (too small a bellcrank, I expect). Weight is 11 ounces, and it has 160 sq.in. wing. Corners are incredible! Covering on the wings is Polyspan, regular tissue on the wood parts. Entire finish is Butyrate dope. Custom decals by me, of course.
The tail surfaces are solid, which was a problem, resulting in 1.5 ounces of noseweight required.
Were I doing one from scratch, it would be at least a 60% model, and the tail lightened up as much as possible.
