Thought I’d start a build log for my Chilton. Today started at 0630 with a 1.5 hour drive to Aircraft Spruce. Picked up all the wood for the tail plus a little extra spruce for odds and ends.
Got home at 1100 and got started on the 1mm birch rib diaphragms for the tail. Ended up getting the webs for the vert and horiz stab done. This 1mm ply sure is nice to work with..feels like a big rc model.
Tomrrow I steam and bend the rib cap strips and start on the vert and horiz spars.

Thought about posting this in the projects but I don’t like the blocked comments.. plus the classic section could use a little more Chilton.
