I want to thank everyone for the help on mounting the wings. The mounting went
without a hitch today. The hardware store bolts just slipped right in with no
problem. Highly recommend. I would say that they will be very useful in the
initial alignment prior to inserting the close-tolerance bolts too.
Once the wings were on, I just had to put all the other stuff on the plane to get
an idea of what it looked like. Awesome! I thought I'd share a couple of
pictures... Yahoo!
Thanks again!

I can see how 80% of homebuilt planes don't get finished but when you ge
t to this stage I bet NO one could pry that nice lookin plane from your
hands now.... Keep building. The first flight in a craft you created is

Matt,
I've been supporting and enjoying the list since 1998 and know how you feel
right now!
Mounting the wings for the first time is one of those major milestones! Keep
banging those rivets!

Looks great, congrats. Now that the easy stuff is completed, time to get
your hands dirty and really get to work.
Keep up the good work.
