Here we have completion of the floorpan and we will be ready to turn the fuselage over as soon as we have riveted the front floorpan in place. Total time has been 235 hours. So we are ticking along nicely how ever it will rain soon so we will be dragging out the tractors to put the crop in. One does have to pay for his toys. So until next time Blue skies and don't forget to apply NUMBER ONE RULE: Have Fun

Hello everybody. In the last post we had just started to make the fuselage skeleton. Well the skeleton is now finished and with all the um and ar procastinating ect I was surprised that we had only just hit the 200 hour mark. As you can see we have now turned the fuselage over and we are getting ready to start skinning the bottom but before we can do this we have to get the skeleton straight and level again

We have put the bottom skin on followed by the lower sidewall skins and from then on the rest is pretty well self explanatory. Total time to this point 218 hours.

The undercarriage channel and centre floor are now in place and we have had a little bit of help from the youngest member of the team Henry.
