    @j-healy, thanks a lot, John. Getting closer to the moment I worry most, getting those two wings on.
    @lgardner, thank you, Louis. That's a nice circle cutter you have. Looking forward to see the result of it.

    Decals are on, now it is time to put everything together. First I need to shorten the landing gear by 1/8 of an inch as mentioned by Tom @tcinla

    Lower wing, well a half one, attached as well as the landing gear. Balancing to let it dry sufficiently before checking if it can hold the weight.

    @firelockg, thank you, Ian. Those multi wing planes are always fragile, lets hope the landing gear is strong enough.
    @yellow10, thanks a lot, Paul. The decals did cooperate pretty well.

    I am taking notes, John (@johnb). I will be adding the skinny legs to my triplane soon. The painting you have done on the wings and fuselage looks great.
