Over the last week or so I have been extremely busy, but any spare 10 minutes were spent building bits of the Birdy.
I have to tell you all, this is my first plan build of a glider, well its not really a build but an assembley of precision cut parts.
A few photos of what I have done to date.


































Fus box photos later !!!!!!!!!!!

The pod is black also lol.
Wings are going to be covered in what ever colour I can find in the workshop.
This is also my first time covering.
Dad usually did it all for me as he loved this job.

Coming along nicely Richard. Sorry to say this, but the fuse section looks like a Phase 6, except with a carbon boon out to the tail, Ha! :lol:  ( I’m only joking with you.)

You said you sanded an airfoil on the elevator, don’t you mean the horizontal stabilizer? :?:
 What would be the benefit of sanding one on the elevator?
Is it symmetric or semi-symmetric?

Nice pictures by the way,………is that the Lumax you’re using?

Yes I used the wee Lumax, I am starting to rely love the camera.
Sorry about all the spelling mistakes but I thought it would have deflected your attention away from my bad covering  :wink:
There are no flies on you Mr. Keith :clap:
