Hi everyone this is my blog on the building of our Hornet Stol aircraft designed by Ole Hartmann from Australian Aircraft Kits www.aircraftkits.com.au The pictures above are the veiw and the shed in which we are going to build our plane in. The kit arrived on the 17 October 2005 at around 11 am. We started unpacking immediately and we finished at 2 pm



All of the unpacking has been done and the kit is laid out on the floor

After spending a few hours going over the kit list and marking everything of we started to build the wings this was only possible because we had had the manuals for over a month before the kit arrived.

The following pictures are from the first hole being drilled to the first skins being put on

The wings took 102 hours to build. The whole kit is aluminum and is what I would consider a quick build kit. The next few pictures are the fitting of the leading and trailing edges.

While we were building the wings we had numerous interruptions due to harvest and holidays.Since arriving home we have been building flat out while trying not to let the farm interrupt us to much.
