Welcome Aboard guys,
It feels good to work on a plane again even with my back killing me.

I have started framing up the wing. So far so good. The 1/8" ply ribs are bowed pretty good but are straightening out fine. At the rate I am going it will take me all week to complete the right wing. I don't think you have anything to worry about Robert my back just won't let me stay working at my usual pace. I might even be as slow as David right now.

For those considering this kit, it is a fine kit but if you do not have a drill press or access to one you will get frustrated pretty quick. I can't imagine trying to build this plane without one. The wing joiners require a lot of drilling of aluminum bars and brackets. Here are a few pics of the wing joiners and the laminations and the starting of the right wing. The wing panel builds together with 1/2 of the center section and after the wing is framed and the joiner is installed the outer panel is cut loose.
Later!!
Anthony
