I finally got the interior finished. :D I hope it was worth all the work. I don't think I will ever do it again. :roll: All and all , it came out better than I thought it would. Any way here is the final pictures of the interior. next all I need to do Is glue the front windshield in place and I will be finished with the fuselage , then I can start covering the wing , ailerons and flaps.

I thought I had better check the fit of the wing before I cover it . After that I need to do some finishing sanding before I start covering. I'm beginning to think I will actually get it done . Here's some picture .

The wing needed a little more work. I need to get it done before I can start covering.

OK I finally got back on the Cessna. :roll:
I started covering the wing. I started on the bottom first. Next is the top and then the flaps and ailerons. Then I'll be ready to install all the servos and add the Decals. I'm going to try to get it ready before the next meeting.
