Default RE: First Time Kit Builder: Project GP Super Decathalon

Well haven't posted on here for a bit. Noting huge to report. I'm hoping to get some good progress done this Labor Day weekend. I'll be heading down the hobby shop early tomorrow to pick up my engine, fuel tank, and some other tiddly bits. After some research I decided to go with the Magnum .70 four stroker. I'm to the point of locating the engine on the firewall so I need to get that to continue on to fuel-proofing the fuse and keep on keeping on with the kit.

As far as whats been done since last post, I have the lower triangle stock and lwr fuse skin done. Glassed the center wing section, and installed the aileron torque rods. I feel that the wing LE back to the aileron hinge well is complete. I finished sanding and blending the LE with the wing skin & ribs. Next up is mounting engine, fuel-proofing the fuse, and continue on with the upper fuse build up. Hoo-rah Cant wait!
