Hi all
Well I have nearly bought you all up to date so far we have spent a total of 375 hours on this little project. As you can see I have painted it this has taken 50 hours this includes dismantling and reassembling the aircraft. This is not the final colour just the undercoat as I am not yet sure on my colour scheme. Any ideas would be appreciated so long as it includes yellow.



As you can see the doors are finished and the windows are done except for the windscreen. We have the cowling to make and finish rigging the tail feathers and put the numbers on and then final inspection and hopefully all before harvest starts.
For those of you wishing to fly or drive in to have a look feel free to contact me
more to follow soon
Cheers

Well it has been awhile since the last update. There has been a lot happen since then,as you can see the legs are on and the cockpit is nearing completion this has taken 6 hours.



Our next thing to do was to skin the elevator stabiliser and elevator and make the rudder skeleton and skin the rudder this has taken 22 hours. The best part is that these were our last pieces to make. The total time to date is 352 hours.
From here it is on to the rigging stage .
Untill next time cheers.
