Updated Gallery
I haven’t published many updates lately because life is really busy right now. However, lots of progress has been made on the plane. My dad likes to check in and see progress, so, this update is for him. Here is a picture to get the general consensus of where the project is today. Check out the link to the right to get to the gallery where there are a bunch more shots.
Rolled it over!
Mom and Dad came over the weekend of 7/4 to celebrate the holiday. While they were there I used a fair bit of Patti’s time and a ton of Dad’s time to help rivet the fuse together in preparation of rolling it over. After 3 days of riveting I was done with it. I was making the joke that the next one would have to tube and fabric though I am not so sure Patti appreciated that type of humor.
Here are the results. Needless to say there are a ton of details to be addressed in getting this far. The structure has many different parts fits and things to be aware of while riveting. For a ton more photos in this update check out the link to the left.
Next step is to work on the stop skins ….
