    Welcome to the fun part! Looking forward to following your build!

    Given all the new starts in the last 6 mos-year, I wonder if it's worth having a separate forum for build threads.

    That might be a good idea. A new category in addition to General Discussion.... The New category, "Build Threads" Keeps everyone here, easier to reference.

    I can see where that would be beneficial. Agreed

    Hey Meyer, I went to check out the blog and it took me to a Wordpress login page. Can you find a different link?

    A good idea. Would make it much easier to find builders.

    Update here... about 12 days in. Random pics below of things along the way, but as of now...


    • Ribs and stiffeners all set in the horizontal stabilizer and elevator.
    • One wing test fit properly, geometry set at factory all good.
    • Spar stiffeners riveted on.
    • Working on lift strut brackets now.


    Next up is finishing the hysol lift strut brackets. Then finish wing attachment process. Install number one rib, fuel tank, etc.

    After that, flip fuse around and do the other side.

    More pictures in the link in my profile.
