Some progress.

After waiting all week for the Strega instruction book to come from Brodak I found it on the porch Sunday morning. I don't know how long it had been lying there. I read through it to make sure I didn't miss any important steps. I changed the bottom sheeting from a molded part to a flat sheet on top of rails. I also made formers for the front section of the top fuselage and wrapped a wet sheet of balsa on it to form the top front piece. Weight now is 51 ounces. I should be in my target range of less than 60 ounces when it's done.
