Excellent progress so far, my friend @kalamazoo!
I like glue/Pledge approach in attaching the canopy. Is Pledge favorable at "sensitive" places like the front part?
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 11 months ago:

Superb work done, Allan @kalamazoo
Everything fits nicely.

Thanks Spiros, I like Pledge near the clear bits but glue is good next to the painted ceiling, --------

Great ribbing technique and great overall progress, my friend @kalamazoo!
A small setback with the wing breakage.
Looking forward to your progress!
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 11 months ago:

Indeed great ribbing technique, Allan @kalamazoo
Will note that in my notebook if you are ok with that.
Pity about the wing though.

Happy to see the relatively mild damage from the Vne test!
George R Blair Jr said 1 year, 11 months ago:

Immaculate work on the nose, Allan (@kalamazoo). Glad to hear I am not the only one who occasionally drops one, amid many choice words, I might add.

Thanks Spiros, these setbacks are sent to try us, -------
Thanks John, note away, ----------
Thanks Erik, it's not the velocity but the sudden deceleration, ------------
Thanks George, I'm sure our choice words would be similar, --------------

Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 10 months ago:

Yep, sprue glue is great but shrinkage happens quite often where it is applied, my friend @kalamazoo : nothing that patience and your follow along excellent filling and sanding skills cannot handle!
Allan J Withers said 1 year, 10 months ago:

Thanks Spiros my friend, needs to be applied in several small amounts.
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 10 months ago:

Nice technique on applying the prue glue, Allan @kalamazoo
Pity about the shrinkage, but like said by Spiros @fiveten, you will definitely get it corrected.
