Default BUILDING A PHOENIX 8

Finally, building a Phoenix 8 for myself.

Work, family, friends, all take a lot of time. So much time that I seem to neglect my own desires for a new plane. I just love the Phoenix 8 and I am finally building one for myself. I've been working on it for about ten days so far. I took some pictures as I was building but haven't posted any yet. I was talking to a couple of friends this weekend and they asked me if I could post the build. I may have missed taking a few pictures of some of the steps because I was on a roll and didn't stop to snap the pictures as much as I should have. Anyhow lets go.

This first one is putting in the wing bolt mounting plate. I used 1/4" ply and blind nuts and epoxied it in with 30 minute.
