Very productive couple of days....

Decided to go with a 2-piece cowl, using a lap joint. Should be able to leave the bottom on and just remove the top if access is needed to the engine. So, yesterday, got the lap joint engineered (pictures available on request), and everything seems to fit well. Shot the whole thing with some primer last night as well, and got the paint done today.

Canopy is "nearly" finished...just some trimming to do on the frame, and it should be done.

Also picked up the CF landing gear (Bolly F3A Long) at the LHS, and got them primed and painted.

The biggest bulk of the progress, however, came on the wings. Left wing is DONE, save for aileron linkage. All edges/caps on/ribs on, covered, servo mounted, aileron hinged, hinges curing as I type. All that's left is to obtain and install the aileron linkage, and drill/tap the bolt holes, which I won't do until i have the tail feathers on and can set the incidence.

The right wing has seen some progress as well. It's finish sanded, and the leading edge is installed and sanded to shape. Should be able to get it to the same state as the left wing tomorrow, and MAY even get to some tail feathers.

*whew* Pizza and a cold beverage await.
