I love the jig Chris.
I suppose the fuselage can be left on until it's time to clad the bottom.
No more bananas!
BTW I suppose you realise that you're turning into a computer Nerd, don't you.
Me? I think they're just a passing fad.

Actually, Devfus will also calculate an upside down position on the jig: might try that next time...

Some filler for the base of the fin now...
and now the rear end is almost complete...
The fuselage can now be removed from the jig...
and the lower ctp planking completed...

The two main longerons that located on the jig are now removed...
With the remporay formers removed, the inside of the fuselage can be glassed...
1/2-round hardwood mouldings are glued to the 6mm square longerons to simulate the metal tube of the full-size...

A quick look at the wings, as they are fairly simple to make...
The new jig is also very useful for holding the wing spars straight while they are marked out for tapering...
The brass wing-joiner boxes are angled inside the spars for a straight join...

The pictures on the wall indicate that the egyptian decoration of the F-CEEM takes your attention. Note that F-CEEM is a LCA-11 and the wings are completely covered with plywood without fabric. F-CEED is a LCA-10, the wings are partially covered with fabric as indicated on your drawing.

Merci fceed, more stuff I didn't know I started with Martin Simons SF27M drawing, then found Richard Ferriere's website, now I discover there is an LCA 11! My model will therefore incorporate elements of all three.
Not to worry though, my main purpose is to build her under 7Kgs for slope flying in light winds, and I'm sure she will look pretty there anyway...

I won't detail the wing construction too much, as they are all pretty much the same...
So, making up the canopy frame. the long pieces (2 of 3 x 6mm spruce) are laminated against the sides of the fuselage to obtain the correct shape
Marking out the curve of the wing root fairing...
Balsa is used for the main shape...
and finished with glass cloth and polyester resin...
The Flamingo canopy is a perfect fit

The airbrakes are as simple as I can possibly make them...
Now to make a BIG hole in the wing!
Airbrake installed...
I started this project over the Christmas holiday, now, with this last picture we are up to date and in real time (Pic taken yesterday)

The Topaze had her first aerotow (The Flamingo too!) today in a very strong wind. It seems that she thermals very nicely
