I spent the day running all over Norther VA with the family doing my lasic follow up, dropping the wife's car off for the new tires and such. It was 7:00 before I got in the shop then the *&@$ing phone calls started. It was 9:00 by the time I got to work. Tommorow I have to go tot he DMV and get my bike tags, change the oil and a few other things. I might get to the workshop by 7:00? I work 4 days on and then have 4 off and each 4 off looks so promising, then it turns into only about 4 hours of actual work on the planes.

So, today I fleshed out the nacels and let me tell you this is where the plans and markings fail. If you go with all the markings in the same orientation, any kind, facing you, up, down, it doesn't matter, the external stringers and the bulkheads don't line up. If you get the profile right and then the internals match the stringers and a few things are wrong, I am guessing that a few stringer notches are off so I went with the alignment and made my own notches in a few places. The detail views in the plans gave awesome detail of each piece, where it went in sequence, but not a clue as to the orientation. The bulkheads have cutouts for fuel tanks, landing gear etc. and unfortunatly when the line up internaly where they make sense they don't match quite right in a few other areas like the stringers.

But aside from that, the plane continues to build really fast and true.
