Build Progress Summary
I spent this past weekend (12-13 Sept) attaching the port skin of the fuselage to the airframe. I had a mate, Murray Lee - who is into
aviation and planes as much as I am, come over and give me a hand but unfortunately we had a bit of a mishap on the Saturday with the batch of
glue we were using going off after just 20 minutes after we were only part way through applying the glue. This caused us a bit of grief but
we managed to sort it out and get back on track by Sunday afternoon.
Goals For The Coming Week
- Trim the port skin to match the fuselage frame.
- Glue the starboard skin to the fuselage frame.
- Trim the starboard skin to match the fuselage frame.
- Cut and glue together the bottom skin for the fuselage.
