Yeah, the early French aviation magazine. I was doing some research on Gabriel Poulain's Aviette for the second Prix Peugeot (human powered flight contest), and they sent me several great articles, in French. Being unable to speak a lick myself, and knowing no one willing to undertake the task, I used google translator... It took a long time to type it all in.

Im now at the process of sewing the fabric to the rudder.Speaking of rudder,my rudder design is not going to be like the Chanutes but more like the rudder on the Satntos Dumont Demoiselle.

I hope nobody minds asking this but obtaining dowel rods is a little slow and I need to get this done ASAP.So Im wondering if anyone in this forum would like to donate me some dowel rods (use pics as reference to size of rods) and it would be so much help.I would be most thankful! PM me if so!

My way of putting the two wings together (after Im done with the bottom wing) is this.Instead of building a seperate wing (which will plague me with mis-measurments) I will install the struts first,then the vertical rib,connect that rib,wire it (double truss),ect.
