Have really enjoyed reading and seeing pics as your project comes together.

I'm new to the hobby of planes and bought myself a CG tiger 60 Kit which comes in a few days and very excited to get started.
I've been a finish carpenter for about 20yrs and love working with wood and this just seemed to be a great hobby to get into.

Look forward to reading and seeing more pics of your project keep up the good work (not really work is it )

Just wanted to let you know the canopy came in from Tower, I think it will work ok but unfortunately there is a white line down the center of it. Not sure if I can get the line off with out screwing up the canopy but thats why we bought 2, one to experiment with...

I received my kit today, looks really nice. And I just wanted to mention that I placed the GP 1.20 chipmunk canopy on the plans and it looks like it will fit reasonably well, just gotta get that white stripe off somehow.

Outstanding! It is a great kit to build. The biggest problem is sheeting the rear of the fuse. I cut the skins, glued them and then soaked them in water, that allowed me to bend them pretty well.

Thank about how you will finish the plane, do you want to glass it and paint (My personal preference) or cover it.

Enjoy the build!

Well I started this project on Oct. 24th 2006, almost 18 months later it is finallying coming to an end.

All that I have left to do is cover the flaps, put the wheels on and glue in all of the control surfaces and she is done. I am really pleased with the build, my biggest fault is the cowl which is ok, but not perfect. I will have some final pictures posted soon.

Cheers!

Manks... did you fly the chipper this summer?

Manks,
