| As usual, the solid wing tip...Those little boxes around the edge, called plaques, contain building instructions and info about flying, weather, dynamic forces and the like. |

| This scale airfoil is one of the things that make a Cleveland plan and kit different. On Guillows kits only the 800 series and larger have the correct air foil. The 400 series all have flat bottom air foils and that makes the scale look just wrong. You can see why it has to be blocked up and why the rear spar either needs to be blocked up or added later. I chose later. |

| The plan has no stringers on the top of the ribs but you know that's not going to happen. The 18" ruler shows the size. All the notches for these stringers will be done with the xacto. |

| I wrapped the plan around the building board to keep it intact. This is the only thing that will be built directly on the plan. Patterns for for the other structures were done with traving paper. As I've used nothing from the kit I'll be putting it back on ebay when I'm finished with it. |

| I used the parts in the kit as patterns for the pieces I'm actually using to build the kit. I left extra wood at each end of the rib so it can be cut to fit precisely. |
