Back at it. Finished up some work on the stabs and elevators.

More work on the stabs, fin and rudder.

That looks very nice there Kevin

[Sinkhappens86]

Made the fillet for the windshield using the "false windshield" strip that Gunny provides. Then glassed the dashboard area. Getting ready to start on a wing.

Continuing on with the wing

While I still had a lot of access to the whole wing, I ran the wiring for the flap, aileron and wingtip lights. Then sheeted the top of the wing, aileron and flap.

[Sinkhappens86]

Flipped the wing over, reinforced the strut mount, sheeted the bottom and cut free the aileron and flap.

[Sinkhappens86]

Finished up one wing, now just have to do it all over on the second one.

Left wing coming together, less photos of this one in progress.

Awesome progress Kevin!

[Sinkhappens86]

Wings are both built, putting everything on the fuse to build the struts.

Looks great so far!

Engine acquired. Struts are built. I took Gunny's templates for the baffles, sketched them in Fusion 360 and then 3D printed them.
