Marcus,

Coming along nicely.  H^^

The Super Decathlon has a fabric covered fuselage, doesn't look like the kit you have offers this  scale construction? The wood sides just look straight?

Will you have a fuselage that is fabric covered over longerons like the actual aircraft?

Will you loose points if you don't?

Charles, right now all focus is on building... Finishing comes later...LOL...
Because our snail was on a strike, I just got the 3-line bellcrank and handle.. I thought it would be better to have the bellcrank before going on with the fuselage... I've placed the mount 1/2" below the engine thrust line, so I have room for a pilot figure. Now, I'll buy the motor mount, which I thought i had one... LOL... Then, make the throttle work... That should be interesting... I was Lucky and won't have to make any crazy thing.
The wing is one piece, missing the ailerons, which I'll glue to the TE and the tips, plus the strut mounts..
I'll go check the real thing tomorrow, and hope to get some help from the flying club, since I got my pilot's licence there... Then, I'll build the tail.
No cockpit details except from the dash and the pilot.. I am afraid of messing with the bulkheads and weakening the structure..
I got less than 30 days to do this...
Anyway, it will be fun....
Gonna get a little more done and post a few pics so you guys can tell me what you think.
FAI rules suck... Wish we had your Sport Scale here....

Marcus,

Do you have full size plans with that kit?

Are the graphics drawn on the plans?

Well, I didn't make it to the championship...
Though I tried as hard as I could...
Anyway, when I started this, I knew it might happen...
Gonna continue this build until it's finished, since I don't have to rush anymore, I will take my time to do it properly.
I have enjoyed this a lot... It is a different kind of building, and I am really curious to see how I handle a 3-line system.
Sorry Charles, It took me a little while to pop up here... Yes, the plans have the graphics, not exactly like the one I am doing but it's a reference anyway.

Marcus, I understand what you are saying, it took me 5+ years to finally build and complete a Scale Model that I kept saying I was going to do!
