New Project owner.

Hello all,
I recently purchased A SIIL. The former builder has done an amazing job and spared no expense from what I can tell. Im guessing it is about 85% done and hopefully will have it airborne this year.

Testpilot09, the workmanship looks really good from what I can tell in the pictures. I'm curious how the builder was able to rivet the wing skin to lay so flat against the ribs. My wings (and I've seen others) have a slight quarter size depression in the wing skin around the pulled rivet. Congratulations on a great purchase!

Thank you for taking the time to welcome me. Yes the gentleman who started the project was very methodical in his work.
