Clerget Engine.
 I will be leaving the pics of the Clerget engine build up on pages 12-13 of my photobucket until I install it on the model.

This is the setup that I use to build all the wooden parts wings,fuselage etc....A flat piece of fibreboard with a piece of 1" pink insulation glued to it.

Over the insulation I place the section of the plan I wish to build and then put a piece of wax paper over that.The wax paper keeps the glue from sticking to the plan and is very easy to remove.

Laser cut birch plywood parts are extremely strong and show very little grain, which is great for our purposes, however they do have some burn marks especially on the edges.I usually sand this off with a sanding stick and then seal the part using lacquer ,either a spray or by dunking the part in a bottle of 1/3rd lacquer and 2/3rds lacquer thinner.This is very important if you don't want to have glue marks marring your wood.(The laser cut wing ribs will be treated a little different but for now it is important not to remove them from the board.)
F3 comes in two pieces, which are now glued together ,I use small clothes pins for clamps.

Well things are not starting off too well! the first part to be installed is way off according to the plan.I will use it as is and hope that this was an adjustment made in manufacturing to make for an easier build and not noted in the plans.
 I will check the plans a little further and see what these holes are for.(wing spars?)Like I said this is a real time build!
