Yes. I have a lot of little things like that to finish up. Just wanted to see what she looked like with the wings on. I need to do the final shaping on the wings and add the cap strips to all of the ribs. I am trying to figure out in my head the best way to cover this thing. I have 21st century fabric to cover it with, just trying to figure out the best way to go about it.

Not too much to report. I got some painting done and mounted the fueler and power switch. I also made an extended ball wrench to put on the wing bolts. It needs to reach through the entire fuse to put in the screws on the opposite side.

I also sanded the markings off of my prop. Anybody guess what it is?

Pretty easy to guess coming from my shop. Nothing else on my planes.

Put the landing gear together and test fit them today. They look great. I also put the cowl and prop on just to see it. The rest of my hub should be here tomorrow. Hopefully the correct size this time.

That is gonna be cool!! Looking great. I ran late tonight and will laser engine parts tomorrow after work. Can't wait to see how that comes together for you......

You are an inspiration!

Can't wait to get those parts.

I was able to get the covering on the landing gear last night. I ended up putting some balsa in the middle for some extra support. The covering doesn't actually touch the balsa. I am happy with the results.

I decided to use covering on the inside instead of painting it. I used Ultra Coat on the inside. This will look much better than paint.

Huge thanks to terryscustom for laser cutting the engine parts. The assembly was a breeze. I am working on valve covers and the exhaust tubes.

Awesome job so far!
