Default RE: Skybolt hangar and clubhouse

There was an official snow-fly scheduled for today but it was just too darn cold and windy by the time I was ready to go. So, with the planes back in the cellar I cleared the workbench and started sorting the Skybolt parts. After a few false starts trying to gather all the needed tools and getting the plans unrolled so they would lay flat (big sheets!), I started the fin and rudder build around 1:30 p.m. I worked on them until about 6:00 p.m. and they are almost finished. I just have to add the hard balsa sections to the bottom of the rudder and finish sanding. My feet are tired and my back hurts, but it was great fun and so far it looks good...for the first two pages of the instruction book!

This is going to take a long time...
