All read up to this point. Funny thing is I had subscribed to your YouTube channel build before reading this thread.
Gold luck and keep up the posting

Working on the stabilizer tips and starting on the door frames. I have the rough balsa tips glued on and ready to start shaping. What did you guys cut the door frames pieces with? I'm not finding real good ways. So far I've used Dremel tool and tin snips to cut the door frame but not real happy with either.
Looking online at John Mcbeans post about how to joint the sections and I guess in the past the frames didn't wrap around the square tubing. Better fit now I'd guess but harder to cut. Looks like it all gets filled at the joints so small mistakes will be covered up...I hope.

I used a Dremel cut off wheel. Cleaned up the cut with a sanding drum. Super fill the joints and sand.

Back to work this afternoon from a good wheat harvest. Finished cutting the door frames and glued them in place. Then we finished sanding the horizontal wing tips also. Doors are next.
