Sittin' on the bench in all of its grand nakedness, right next to the hatch

Seriously though, I think I'll be doing well to have the covering done by Thanksgiving. It looks like my work hours are going to be increasing (good for the $$, not so good for the time), so my available build time will suffer. I may get started on the control surfaces tonight, but no promises. I'll probably try to get the canopy tinted over the weekend if the weather is not decent enough to fly. There's no real deadline as she won't see any air time until next spring. Well - OK, so there is a deadline in that I want to get started on my Sukhoi, but the "start-the-next-kit" date is always a given.
