Actually, I have gotten a little bit more accomplished.

After the cowling was fitted and the rear deck was installed, I was able to work on the plastic decks that are located on top of the fuel tank compartment and the wing. The wing was the real challenge. It came from the kit manufacturer with a flat bottom, which had to be trimmed so that the bottom would fit the camber of the wing.

This week, I managed to find time to get all of these parts painted. I also finished filling gaps and creases and did the final sanding and Eva gave the plane a good coat of Balsarite in preparation for covering.

We have all of the hinge slots cut and are about ready to start covering the plane. Hopefully, this bird will be in the air in June!

I'll post pics of our latest accomplishments as soon as I get back into the shop.

Thanks for looking!

BTW, the club that we have joined has assured us that there are a couple of LT-40's that they have in the hangar that we can get up to speed on before we kick our first Black Baron Special out of the nest. That's nice to know. Thanks again to the Concord Skyhawks club up in Concord, NH![sm=thumbup.gif]
