Geez guys, I'm almost (almost) sorry to say that everything's just ducky here. We finally got a bit of snow (about 11") to at least make it seem like winter, and the temp has been hovering between 0 and 30 most days. There HAVE been days that were warm enough (40+) to go flying.

The real news, though, is that I've finally gotten a start on my plans-build of the 1966-era SIG Stratus. Wings are framed. About ready to start sanding LE & TE so I can actually join them. Then starts the sheeting.

This is where I am right now:

This is kinda what it'll look like when it's done: (heggen's bird)
