Title: Juno started
Post by: Ty Marcucci on February 05, 2023, 03:54:25 PM

After diddiling around for years,I finally got my Juno kit off the pile and started. First of course is the fuselage.  At first weighing it was 14.8 OZ.  Now after a lot of plane work with a razor plane, rough and fine sanding, it is at 9.8 OZ. This is less the cowl.  I have the rudder roughed out and the stab/elevators sanded pretty much to shape.  A very slow,  for me, project. Too cold to work comfortably in the garage.  D>K
