I'm building this with Fevicol SH, so it's a slow, lazy build

Slow, but strong for sure. Quite sand able. I too use an equivalent one called Titebond here.

Titebond is a little faster than Fevicol. It's easily available here, but costs 10 X of Fevicol!

Wing sheeting and wingtips complete

Next are Cap Strips

Was a bit under the weather - some nasty chest congestion. Lost the last 6 weeks of the good flying weather too! But now back to it

Made the ailerons

Got a strip of Dural from a friend, made a landing gear

Started the Cap strips for the wing

That turned out to be much nastier than I thought! CT Scan and tests showed a fungal infection in the Sinus Cavities which had gone into the lungs. One lung was functioning only 52%. Had to have an immediate surgery

Anyway, better now, so back to the build!

1.5 mm ply sheeting on the front of the fuselage

@sanjayrai55

Sir, any particular reason for center section sheeting grain being chordwise instead of spanwise?

No particular reason except material availability (2.5 mm sheet cut-off) The plans also show it like that

The sheeting is non-functional - only the cover for the servo compartment. It is to be fixed with a few small screws

Sirji, no update in over 2 months...

Yes sir. I have been lax

I haven't been flying since March also, but that's because of health reasons

Hope to start everything soon 

Progress
