Did you do anything about the pillowing or leave as is? I just finished my right wing and there is minimal on that one but the left LE is a bit more noticeable. I haven't riveted the left together so it may tighten up a bit but im not sure. Nice job BTW.

As of now I just left the slight pillowing. I may address it in the future but at the same time I would rather spend the time flying.  I think the average person wouldn't even notice pillowing in these areas unless they were looking for it. Thanks for the complements!

I can't imagine it would affect flight. It only sticks up about 25 thousands in a couple of spots.

That is nothing at all really.

Well I powered through the deburring and priming of the bottom skins the past couple of days. I also started on the fuselage!  I can already tell this should be more fun than the wings as I'm not staring at rib after rib after rib, oh and did I mention they all look the same?!? haha

You have to get creative when your building a plane in a one car garage.

Yep time to keep that ball rolling and make up for my 3 months off in the winter. I am motivated to get this thing in the air dare I say next year (got to have goals right?)! It has been too long since I have flown on a regular basis and with were I live I would sure like to be able to get to a major store in less than 2 hrs.

Well I made a minor mistake on one of the firewall parts so I am waiting for a replacement so that I can get everything primed and riveted. While I wait for that I started on the center section. This is a pretty fun little section to do. Lots of drill shavings for sure!

Boelube really helps when drilling the 704G bars.

All match drilled.

This is a fun part Jeremy. I liked the fact it was easy to handle on the table, flat!
