I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Some progress on the Customaire. The fin/rudder is all "double-glued up" with white glue as per Don Ross' Treatise book "Rubber Powered Model Airplanes", which I had signed out from the Library, read it, highlighted it , made pencil notes all over it, then ordered a new book, and went back to the Library to give them the new book, got heck from the Librarian, but she eventually let me exchange it, but charged me $2.60 for having to switch over the cover and bar codes info ... I am going all out and double gluing and bracing up everything with small 1/16" balsa planks

First glue up all surfaces 65:35 glue:water mixture, let dry, then 90:10 glue:water for final attachment. I am pondering if I even need little gussets all over the model or not ...

22" Sig "Customaire" - Spent the day so far, photocopying sections of the plan, and light sanding (220 grit) all of the fuzz off of all of the sides of the "saw cut" stringers - 3/32" sq, 1/16"sq, 3/16" X 3/32", and 1/16" X 1/8" stripwood. After blowing off all of the sanding dust, I dragged each piece through my black cloth T-shirt, and I was amazed at how much sanding sawdust was still actually left on the wood. These laser-cut parts in this kit, don't seem to be as "laser-burned" that very dark brown color on the edges, as on other kits. I have heard that the way to get around that (from Dave Paul Cowell, I think), is to laser cut over glass. Anybody hear that before? I'm ready to start gluing now that all of my balsa is squeaky clean ...
