Default RE: Palmer 132

I have been paddling on this rebuilt also, my speed is not as fast at Hernik's but still pretty good for all that i have to do on my beast!

Presently i'm waiting to take some breath before i continue to join to fuselage!, now this is very critical and crucial step and i want "Zero" screw ups on this one. Hopefully my friend Amyr will come over to help me out.

Cockpit re-construction is all complete finally, Wow what a experience it was!, presently also working on fixing the redome issues. I have added new correctly shape fillets on top of the stringers to make proper curve. Then i also had to realign the lower center stringer to more taper high angle but to this i have to make newer straight 1/8" ply stringer.

Both sides of the redome doesn't have proper compound curves built into it, so those are also being fixed at this time.
