UPS finally found the train car which had my fuselage on it! This is me pushing it in the garage with the wings temporarily parked outside in the nice weather. Just finished installing the left aileron tonight. Man this is fun!

Right behind you, Tim. That's a serious crate!

Jon, congrats on your delivery!

I'm working on my flaps now. My wing kit is old, it's got a different aileron design than yours does. Weird.

The TE on my ailerons and flaps sticks out between the skins about 1/16 of an inch as well. Not like the rudder, where it's hidden all the way. I wonder if that's another difference in the old vs new kits??

Yeah, same here Tim. I found it odd as, like you said, the rudder TE was flush. Elevators, too, I believe. A little filing will clean it up.

Thanks to the help of a friend (and -14 builder) I was able to finish up the bottom skins Friday. Got one wing finished this morning, TEs of the other wing control surfaces yet to shoot, then off to the fuselage

Looks great Jon!

PS - I'm pretty sure I can eat off your garage floor!

You made the front page!
My arm and neck are still feeling you're "progress"
Still can't believe I managed to do both wings without slipping off and tagging the skin with the bar at least once.

Thanks, David! Don't let my floor fool you. The floor (and other parts of the garage) will never be the same after this

Yes, I owe Mike big time!! We shot all his skins and a couple weeks later, we shoot mine. To my amazement, Mike chooses to BUCK every last one. Absolutely amazing to watch some of the long reaches with perfect shop-heads as a result - definitely a master on the bucking bar. Pretty sure I could count on one hand the rivets we had to drill out for both wings.

Thanks to the flu and a few business trips, this piece took about 2 months longer than I anticipated! But thanks to my wife's help bucking rivets, the HS is now complete.



It's quite amazing how much more efficient things can be with a second set of hands!

Looking good, Eric!
