Nice tidy work on the lozenge...be sure it's protected before you proceed.

Having a major time with attaching the upper wing. The struts are not playing well. As you might know, the struts are pre-fab so you only have four sections to install. But the upper wing sets leading edge down. Reversing the pieces makes it worse. This is a little upsetting at the moment so will not work on it anymore this evening. :roll:

Think I will spend a little time at pick up and put away.

I hear you've tried reversing them...try turning them upside down.
(It worked for me).

Jeff, I read somewhere the struts are asymmetric, so one of the arms is longer than the other - that should be the one near the leading edge to keep the upper wing, er, up as it were.

Cheers
