    The fuselage has a second coat of paint on it. I haven't gotten to spend much time this summer on it since I've been in training for an airline but I have rented a hanger for it and it is getting moved into it's new nest.

    The Fuselage is primed and ready for paint. I would like to get the main gear attached again before moving it to its hanger so that moving it is easier. This may be the summer/fall that is flies, keeping my fingers crossed

    Sorry it has been so long since I've posted. I'm having trouble getting pictures sent to my computer to post so far I've got the covering done and have been priming the fuselage. I have also rented a hanger to move the plane to probably this month. I'm off to the airlines in june but hope to...

    Yesterday I made an attempt to cover the bottom of the fuselage. It ended in frustration and me calling it a day. Today I decide to try again and it went on very easy. The difference a day makes.

    Been putting coats of Yellow on the wing, now I have two coats on the bottom and one on the top I have also been tinkering with the control cables and tail feathers. The tail feathers are on and the rudder goes left and right when you push the peddles

    Work is still slowly progressing, Haven't updated the log in a while. so far one wing is primed and ready to have it sprayed yellow. I also ordered some aluminum for fabricating a cowling.

    Not a lot of progress to report, life has been to busy to get very far on the project. I did run some of the cables, the rudder pedals are hooked up to the turn buckle. I also got a coat of primer on the top of one of the wings.

    ironed the fabric over the rear turtle deck, then glued fabric to the front turtle deck. My plan is to do the re-enforcing patches and tapes, on the upper part, then paint the areas were the comm antenna and the tail feathers will attach. attach the tail feathers then run the cables before...

    The fabric is glued on and shrunk on the left side. The fuselage is turned back right side up.

    finished shrinking the fabric on the right side and putting the coat of echobond on where it attached to the plywood. then flipped the plane over and put the fabric on the left side.

    Glued the fabric onto the left side of the fuselage. Now have to let it dry then shrink it. I also threw in a picture of the finished glare shield.
