Yes...I Suck.



Well I have done quite a bit except post my progress. The tank is in and the plumbing is done. The cowl turned out better than I thought-not perfect-but OK. If it explodes into two pieces, I will order a fiberglass one and be done with it. I have the belly pan on and the covering has begun. I am trying to do a better job than on the last plane.

Teaser Spy Photos!



Here is some pics of everything put together. I just couldn't stand it, I had to do it. The tail blocks are back on and I think it is in line with the fuse. Everything comes back apart and now I will begin building the wind attachment stuff.

Setbacks, Setbacks





Well, I finally got a little done. One of my novice mistakes was to make a bannana fuse. The tail was about 1/8" off to one side! I decided to hack the tail blocks off and add a little wood to make the rear end match the plans. Here are some pics of the fuel tank and its Rube Goldberg fuel line routing. I have also installed the EZ fueler and the front sheeting. I put a small piece of monokote around the fueler so that it will be eaiser to cover that area later. The servo rails are now in place and they seem to line up with the pushrods well.
