RE: Scratch Designed/Built Sailplane
Yeah I know what you mean about bare bones wood structures. I get the same way when I see a new house in its early frame-up stage. There's just something about that look, probably the engineer in me wanting to come out & play.
I've been considering using transparent covering on the open areas perhaps. Once we get closer to that time I'll likely start mocking up some graphics & color scemes using my CAD software. We're not quite there yet though.
