Default RE: Bridi Rearwin speedster build?

Well, today was a VERY productive day on the speedster. I had the day off from work, and the wife and kids were out all day, so I spent about 11 hours working on it. The wings are about ready to be shaped and sanded, and the fuse is started. For the first time in my whole life, I don't have enough t pins. The reason I needed sooooo many was that the entire fuse structure got epoxied as per the plans. I haven't touched the CA or Tite bond since I cut the first longeron. I suppose it should be very strong, but every piece had to be pinned extra good to keep them from moving at all. So far, not a bad build. Until next time, happy landings. Steve.
