Default RE: Another 'HOTS' only bigger !

Hi John. I started construction of my 160% Hots too a few days ago.
By now I´m about 3 days into the build, and the top side of the wing is almost ready to be sheeted. After that I will turn it over and sheet the other side.

The front part of the fuselage has a plywood "box" which contains the engine and wing mount. It´s made from 3mm plywood side doublers and bulkheads, but with a 5mm ply firewall. The 5mm fuselage sides are glued to this box and joined in the end.
I dont have pictures from todays work, but I´m a little bit more ahead than the pictures show.

Unfortunately my phone is primarily for calling people, so the internal 2 MP cam sucks a bit...:-)
