Well, I guess I just can't stand a clean workbench and a building board that has nothing on it. I stopped by Hobby Lobby and Michael's this afternoon to gather up straight pins, epoxy brushes, mixing sticks, and other small items so I could get started this weekend. Got home and went through the box of parts, taking out the hardware and separating the sheets so it is easier to find what I need. Nothing left either the top or the bottom of the box. That is all except the hardware which went straight into a shoe box for later. This time I am not spending an hour looking for a part that ends up underneath something on the workbench. Yeah...I know...well at least it is my plan.

So anyway, got the top wing part of the plan cut off of the main sheet, taped it to the building board, put a plastic plan protector sheet over that, then topped it off with wax paper. Then, I just couldn't stop...and began to build the wing straight from the plans. I must admit, I am spoiled after building the Somethin Extra. It had all laser cut parts while the Hog Bipe only has some of them cut that way. I am a little disappointed with the inner wing ribs cause some of the parts were crushed a little rather than clean cut. Nothing that I would complain about to SIG, just an observation. I have attached the latest pictures of my progress, and couldn't help posting a pic of the mixing stick box that I got at Michael's. A great buy as far as I am concerned: 1,000 sticks for $2.99... Try finding that at the LHS!

Man is it great to be peeling CA of my fingers again.
