I have to make my major panel over again. I apparently got to zealous with my groove-forming tool (rivet gun) and work-hardened it and formed a crack. Started to weld the crack shut then just decided to discard it and s tart over. Drat!! I am going to design a plastic insert for the flow-formin g tool to do the work this time instead of the steel one I used. As soon as I get time I will post a complete detailed explanation with phot os of my saga. But I am having more fun than a barrel of monkeys playing ar ound with this stuff!

My almost 6 year old son and I will be working on it together - should be fun if I can keep him interested and following directions. He's stoked about going to Brodhead this year and seeing real planes that have wings like the ones he's building. Here's a shot of it last night after I shaped the rear spar.. I couldn't resist stringing the ribs up and getting an idea of how space I'll lose in my shop.

Foam is ordered, and on it's way for pillows. Gotta get Marci up to speed with the sewing machine now. I've decided to make the foam pillows, then sew the cover so it fits around one side and snaps to the airframe around the perimeter to keep things from moving around. I'm going to use canvas painters tarps for an old historical (hysterical??) look. Spent the last two days sanding the fiberglass cowling and finally got it remounted last night, VERY exciting!! Still have lots of details on that cowling, but it's coming. Maybe another week or so before that's done. Then some niggling detail things while the last major ACS order arrives of Dacron and dope and I can start covering the eppanage and fuse. Doing a "mock antique doped linen" finish with a color trim of latex, so I don't anticipate the painting taking too long. Just have to remember that stupid "hiddin" knot rib stitch I used to be so familiar with.

Yes, these were built to the Kerri-Ann Price plans. I liked them, and they were very complete. I had already built that side of the fuse and went back to make the adjustments. I would recommend the plans as the door is a very nice addition and my wife like's it (read that: she gives me money to buy parts for the plane... :o) Mark On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 10:44 AM, John Fay wrote: > Mark, > > I'm behind on my email and just read your March 7th post, with the picture > of your fuselage (with your wife sitting in the front cockpit).
