I copit of the CR42 is finished and about to be installed.I believe this is the first build in awhile that I have dealt with a copit as such even though you will see little of it when finished.The pit has some scratched up paint aft of the seat on the railing but once buttoned up will never be seen again so leave will enough alone.I would mention for the Novice builder that should happen upon this kit for a build get real photos as the the placement of pieces in the instructions are horrid!





The last pic is of the surgery required to turn the land plane to a flostplane removal of thetailwheel assembly.

I appreciate the comments fellas

I have since glued the fuselage together and faired in the tailwheel area.The tailwheel area was fixed by applying two .015" strips of plastic card,whittled and then sanded for about 30-45 minutes.I also fixed an incomplete mold process at the very end of the right side of the fuse using the same said plastic card.Now I had to take the copit back apart because it did not fit the pit and mainly it was the IP sections you will notice a more profound angle.while it shows on the original I do not think it was as severe as I present it but I digress ATTM it fits from beneath with ease.
