Thank you for the compliments. Today the robart struts were delivered, look good! Few more pictures to share
with you. I built the stab off the plans, with no instructions and after the fact found out there was suppose to
be shear webs in the stab, They are not shown on the plans. We decided to glue on carbon fiber to the top of skins.and vacuum bagged them

Wing halves are joined together and looks good! He installed wing on fuse and everything lined up. Only small amount of sanding on one wing
saddle to get it lined up with vertical fin and wing incidence was perfect.. Horizontal stab was 1/16 low on one side, easy fix! We use laser
to align everything up..

I can finish up the fuse now the wings are mounted. For the turtle deck for canopy we plan on cutting a foam deck.
Plan is to have ready for primer by end of March.
