Dustin's building a Skylark!

[DustinI]

Completed stab and elevators.

[DustinI]

I like the way this looks.

[gunny11]

Very cool Dustin!

[DustinI]

Bottom of the right outer wing panel.

[horsefeetky]

using up all the covering left in your shop i see... call it circus hobbies tribute. or maybe coat of many colors...put dolly parton as a pilot

[DustinI]

Top and bottom outer wing panel with aileron. I think I'll do the other outer wing panel in the same colors.

[gunny11]

That sounds good...

It's the MonoKote of many colors!

[ARUP]

Bad weather? Put this baby up and it'll brighten the day! Great job, Dustin!

[DustinI]

Got the entire wing covered. Took two of the wing panels outside to see what it would look like assembled.



Got the elevator and stab covered as well. Now it's time to build the fin and rudder.

[Soarntz]

Those picnic tables and porch look familiar....

[DustinI]

Built the rudder.

[JimD]

Wings, ailerons, stab, elevators, rudder...now you need a fuselage to attach them to.

[DustinI]

Built the fin now too.

[Sinkhappens86]

Getting there man! Keep at it!

[DustinI]

I wanted to have a larger workspace to build the fuselage, so before getting started on the fuse, I'm building an extension for my workbench.

The existing workbench has holes drilled. Carriage bolts will be placed through the holes.



The extension has slots that will fit over the carriage bolts.



The other side of the extension will have legs that fold up into the table.



Had to do this because the extension will block the basement door. We don't use the door often, but it would be nice to be able to open it when we need to.

[mlachow]

Anyone want to place a bet on what colors the fin and rudder will be? How about transparent green and pink.

[DustinI]

Green and pink. I like the sounds of that!

Unfortunately, I've already covered the rudder, but I don't see why I can't fit some green and pink somewhere on the fuselage.

[DustinI]

Here's the new workbench. I also added another column of shop lights. Plenty of light and plenty of workbench.



Now, time to get back to building airplanes.
