all three intakes are different on each panel right?

You will go the composite route?

I am sure they will not. Will they be balsa, or fiberglass?

Interesting how their shape changes towards the thinner airfoil outboard.

Here is what I got done tonight in 5 hours.

The intake is not what I wanted, but with a bit of putty and some sanding should be close... It will get 2 ounce cloth on it.

Yep some fillets and some good sanding will make those look great. Keep it up Dag!

When you get this done you have to get pictures inside wright patt with their b-36. Maybe you can convince them to let you climb up in the cockpit?

Here is what I got done today. I decided I hated the intakes and torn them apart a redid them. I had over sized them to allow more air in, but they looked like crap. This week will be very slow as work has me traveling and just being very busy.

Both wings are coming together very well. And I also got a bit done on my main gear bolts.

Main gear has always had me very worried, and now that I am getting close I just want to make sure if I need to be making changes I do it now.

Main Gear Drop TEST!

Plan on flying off a grass strip or asphalt? Got brakes? Don't remember because the gear was way back at the beginning of the build.

Looks great. Your building skills are an inspiration to us all!

how much weight did you use to do this drop test if any?
