Now that the propeller is assembled, I wonder if I should make it movable or simply glue it to the fuselageπ€

Before glueing the sheathing, I've sanded the attaching surface as inclined planes so that they are attached without exposing the edges. Maybe there are better ways handling this.

Main wing sheathing is done. I was a bit worry about glueing this part. The result looks OK.

Attached the recesses of wheels to the wing

Recesses for placing the wheels. Try putting them inside the rib see if they fit before glueing them to the wing sheating.
