Default RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Well it has been 4 months since I had time to work on the Giant Panther, between my regular job and teaching snow skiing, I have not had much time for models. I will try to work a little everyday on the Panther and with all of the help I have been getting; I hope to fly it this summer.

I did get Dennis and Joe to help me Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Sunday was spent working on the Horizontal Stab; we glued the halves together, glued the tips on and installed the rear spar.
Monday Joe installed the front spar and filled the stab.

Dennis and I installed the bottom stringers on Monday and spent Tuesday and Wednesday installing the sheeting over the stringer section. I have not started the winglet section because I have to install the wing mounting channels. The biggest problem now is I can not find the mounts.

Joe vacuum bagged my wing cores and as soon as I remember were I put the mounts I can mount the wings.

I am hoping to mount the wings and finish the fuselage sheeting on Sunday 3-13-2011.
