We all have a brain, but not everyone has to have it easily accessible.

Monday - day heavy, as you know. So long as any work starts on Monday. So I have - apart from today started sheathing wings.
The technology is as old as aviation. Or perhaps older, is not competent.
First the pattern.

On pattern ply cut, mark up, skins and throw wet.

And we go to dinner. And after dinner with various gums, tapes and other improvised equipment fix ply to the frame of the wing. And leave to dry for tomorrow...

Wonderful

Looking nice! And it's definitely true... larger aircraft are easier to fly, including helicopters (the RC variety). The only reason we don't all start with the big stuff is cost. Other than that, they're more stable, easier to keep track of (due to size), easier to work on (no microscopic parts).

Nice work Vladimir.  I'm curious to know what the mission is with this monster-size airframe?
