      I know I am a little late with my response, but here is how I feel.
      
      Yes! There is not much activity on this site. Who's fault is it?  Rather 
      than complaining maybe we all should make it a point to take a few 
      minutes each week to send an e-mail to get some discussions started.  My 
      observation is that if someone asks a question, or makes a controversial 
      statement it draws out a lot of replies and useful information.  So lets 
      do it!
      
      Now to get off my soap box!
      
      I have been building, off and on, for many years, between honey do 
      lists, an F.8L.  It has been a very rewarding project, in terms of 
      learning so much about structure systems and fabrication techniques.
      
      I have a lot of pieces that are quite far along.  Tail section with 
      control surfaces is assembled.  Wing structure is still in the jig, but 
      nearly complete, with gear, control surfaces installed.  About ready to 
      have an EAA Technical Counselor come in and go over every detail before 
      the final skinning.  Fuselage is assembled.  I did this separate from 
      the wing, and plan to mate them together when the wing comes out of the 
      jig.  The most recent part has been fabrication of the Cowling, which I 
      am fabricating over a mold. Have not started glassing the cowling, but 
      hope to get it done this winter.  I will have to fire up my wood burning 
      stove, here in Massachusetts it gets rather cool for several months.
      
      Enough for now, will try to continue more later.
