Hey Gang,
Glad to see so much activity on the site. We have been a little tied up with the death of my father in law and the services were this past weekend. But on to the aircraft...Were rocking.... 11 months into the project. all the tail feathers done. One wing skinned totally as of today and will knock the other one out in the next week.
I am so pleased with the way the seams fit. I left the wing in the wing jig and put the bottom skin on there as I could not get a table in to put the wing on. Using a small step stool worked. The skins fit great.
Be ordering the Fusledge shortly... and with the encourgement of this group and a few Ben Franklins floating around we'll get going on it... I can not wait to get this in the air...
I'll try to attach a picture.
I also have the flaps done, Alierons built , Roll servo installed and the heated pitot plumbed.
The tank balloons stayed inflated for 2 weeks so I guess were good to go.
thanks for all the help so far.
