ARRGH!!!!:mad: I forgot to take any pics of the intermediary steps! Got
sidetracked building the Space Ark Jr. Sorry. :(

Nothing untoward happened in the rest of the build, just followed the instructions. And this is what I got. Without doing any trimming, I do get a
fast glide off a hand toss. It just needs a small bit of finesse and I should get
a better glide. ;)
