Just thought i would show you guys some pictures from my latest BD-5 project. I sold the previous one, bought another that was advertised as 95% complete, then got it and it was more like 50% complete. Then i found this one fairly local (3 hours away), drove to look at it, and it was 98% complete with all of the small parts already done (and if you know BD-5's, there are TONS of small parts). All the machine work is done, welding is done, wings and flaps are ready to close, ailerons are done, Vertical tail and rudder are done, HS's are 90% done. All thats really left to do is install all the subassemblies and finish the other 90% of the stuff left LOL. IE control system, fuel system, drive system etc.

Enjoy,
thomas
