Default D&L Edge 540

I started a build thread on this plane before my accident last year. I got it just about to the sanding stage then, and haven't been able to work on it since. I have been trying to work on it a bit at a time. I can't work on it too long at one shot, so it is going to take a long time to finish, but I am pushing pretty hard. I got it to the stage where I can start covering. This is what I have so far, but I have a long way to go. I didn't go look for the thread, but you can check out the build thread if you like. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of the build (we won't go into that), but it is quite the plane. I have a DA 50 to put in it that I bought at the same time I bought the plans. Its quite the plane. I remember building the firewall and getting the engine where I wanted it was the hardest part. I have an extra one laying there that I couldn't use because it was too short.

Hope it flys well!
