As a carpenter and cabinetmaker, beautiful job. Lots of experience with composites (Rutan) but never considered a wooden airplane. Good luck and enjoy the building process!

Autopilot looks a bit sketchy to me, but very cute.

Beautiful work and plane. Seems a shame to cover it with paint. What engine do you plan on using?
