Dave, Yes all is well with the Mother to be, thanks for asking. As for the plane, I started getting things glued together. I started by gluing up the splices with titebond, not CA. Alot of this build will use titebond instead of CA. My reasoning behind this is that I have found that CA is rather brittle on such thin wood and is more prone to stress cracking than titebond or other white glues. a club member also did a test where he weighed out one oz of white glue and CA from thier bottles, let them dry and re-weighed them. the results were that the CA came in at just under one oz and the white glue lost over 85% of its weight. so, when possible on small stuff, I use titebond. anyway, here are a few pics of the splices. I also used thin CA to strengthen up the straight grain pieces of the flying surfaces as discussed erlier. we will see how that goes when dry. (I did not use kicker because i wanted the ca to soak into the grain as far as possible)
