I beat the sunrise (and heat) this morning and primed the canopy. The canopy had zero pin holes to fill, however the top had a couple of "whoopty doos" in it that I to straightened out. Looks fine now. As soon as the primer dries, I can lay out the panel lines that need to be sprayed and ready it for more rivets!

Thank you so much! I love your wing tip tanks. Great job on your build. By the sheen that I see on your wing, it appears that you have glassed it as well. What engine are you going to install on your Bonanza?

the wing tank tips are from a ziroli panther.
it took me weeks to fit them. In hindsight I should have 3D printed them. They would have been more scale and a lot easier to install.
my windows took a long time to install too. Mine protrude from the canopy and I know they shouldn’t . If I have a do over , I ll spend more time to make them flush.
you are lucky to have a full scale bonanza For reference near you.
i am going to install a OS 120 two stroke engine.
i am at a point in the build where I have to find a solution for the muffler. This is how I found your thread
good luck Vince. You are an incredible builder

Since I feel like you are all part of my extended family, I wanted to inform everyone that I decided to take a ride up to Burlington Vt. for a few days. Work will resume back on Monday or Tuesday...

You are doing a fantastic job Vincent and I look forward to each update. Not sure if I mentioned it in any of our email correspondence but both my father and older brother were private pilots and the last airplane we owned was a 1956 V-tail. Unfortunately due to a number of airframe issues, as well as the rising cost of private flying, we sold it just shortly after I started high school right about the time I might have started to consider getting a PPL of my own. I would like to model it some day and my brother just picked up a 40cc twin that we have been looking to put in something. A Bonanza might be just the ticket!
