The site is very quiet these days. I fear the active contributors have all finished thier planes and moved on. I have about 15 hours work in my canopy frame and canopy. It was not as bad as I expected it to be but none the less a challenge. I have yet to do the final trim on the rear window and then it's time to decide where to go next. I think once the canopy (tip up ) and rear window are finished I will lay out the panel and start at the engine mount. I made one mistake that cost me a bit of time. When we riveted the top skins on the rear of the fuselage we went all the way to the rear of the cabin. The instructions, (which I neglected to study ahead) tell you to rivet the forward top, just aft of the cabin, on afte the rear window ias fitted. It still worked out.

I'm afraid most have gone to the Yahoo Group. Since I joined it I have started getting all kinds of spam, go figure. I'm just getting on the wings so I'm no help. Are you going to Oshkosh, I'm sure it is a little quiet as people prepare for the flyin.

I've now logged 32 hours of rigorous flight testing in nine days! 8 more to go before departing for Oshkosh on monday. No sweat. Flown for hours at 10.5K, behind storms, high winds, and great sunsets. She's performed flawlessly. I find myself with nothing more to do but squirt it with polish and rub off the bugs.
