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...

Comment by Vladimir "Lazy" Khudyakov on January 21, 2013 at 10:14am Big planes flew easily...
Wonderful
Comment by Jesse on January 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 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?

Balsa? Sorry, where you seen balsa? :)))
Comment by Vladimir "Lazy" Khudyakov on January 21, 2013 at 11:42pm what the mission
Heavy, big size payload, like a spectrometer and similar scientific instruments.
