Obviously, progress has been slow lately. Work has been inerfering. I'm off this week and should make good progress as long as our terrible New England weather continues.

I've mounted the LG and tailwheel bracket, the vertical stab and completed the linkage for the elevator and rudder. Next will be planking the turtledeck, then mount the tank and plumbing, then plank the forward fusealage.

I have not sheeted the lower sides of the wings yet. I'm procrastinating on that because I know it will be difficult and critical.

One of the biggest hassles I've found so far is acquiring necessary hardware. LHS's carry little to no pattern materials, so it all has to be ordered which holds up progress. I've placed 3-4 orders to Central because, this being my first pattern ship, it's difficult to anticipate what I'll need and some things I've ordered I've found not useable for one reason or another, and had to order something else. Next time I'll know and plan better.
