Once again, ensure the radio is set-up so as to "not" deflect any surface's or control's to a point of breaking thing's. Some items may even need reversing including the throttle and choke.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the airframe and it's component's. I have tried to make assembly require certain method's to familiarize you with thing's.
I have also left wire ties off the fuel to carb connection as well as the smoke line's to exhaust connection. Be sure to remove cowl and secure these!
Don't forget to do a balance check. It is best to have help with this bird due to the weight.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!!

Time to start thinking about shaping and rounding the leading edges of the Big Pitts.
Harbor Freight has a Mini Plane Set. Is there a better tool or way to knock down the balsa prior to final shaping ?????

Nothing like a wing coming off in flight, not that it would, but a 6-32 and blind nut never hurt a thing.
I use one of the little black hobby grade planes to get semi-close. Next I use the Dremel Multi-Max with the 1-1/4" blade and sandpaper added to shape close. After that I use a balsa block shaped to the profile of the plans view with sandpaper to finish sand to shape.

Robert & Friends,
It has been a long arduous build for Robert to not only build one ( Eagle) but, mine just as well. I really want to thank Robert for all his time and energy that went into the Bulldog. It is nothing less than an Amazing build and I owe him all the gratatud in the world. I also want to thank the Mrs.'s for allowing him the time and support in the undertaking of such a long task. ( which to him is a joy...as to many of us who build).
I promise to keep all posted of its arrival and unveiling at such time. I'm one very lucky guy...thanks Rob!! Your the man!!
