I did a little more to the Cessna. There is still a long way to go . I'm almost to the point I have to stop abd build the Stab and fin because they need to installed before I can sheet the upper fuselage.I have a couple of things to do like ,mount the tank and fuel lines , the muffler mounting blocks and sheet the front cowl.
Here is the latest pictures

Hey guys
I haven't got much done on the cessna.I got side tracked again.I put a trolling motor on my kayak. It was a present to me from me. I'm getting ready for my 75 th birthday. I did get the front top sheeting done and it was not fun. I hope the fun starts soon

You never know tell you try.
I got started on the stabilizer.It has a lot of parts.It went together fairly good. It's ready to start sheeting. First I have to glue two sheets of balsa together. I hope it is easier to sheet than the fuse.
Here is some more pictures.
