Thumbs up Tail Feathers are done!

Gang,
Victory! Houston and I finished our -7A empennage (minus the fiberglass end caps....those will wait 'till later). Everything lines up perfectly.

The QB wings are in storage a mile away. We'll bring them into the shop this week after some overdue housecleaning, then keep moving forward.

Hey, Doug Reeves, we all owe you a HUGE 'thank you' for running this community. It has made ALL the difference in easing my progress. Tons of info, the perfect place to come get the advice I needed to unstick some sticky points.

On to the wings!!


[ed. Thank you Sid!!! Congrats and looks great!!! dr]

I remember those days well, exciting times, moving on to bigger parts.
1400 more hrs and you'll be flying! Just keep after it!!

Hey congratulations! Looks really great to see all the parts together and finished. I finished my tail late last year, though i only just got all the parts out for a picture like that. Makes you feel like you really are making airplane parts!

Good luck on the wings
