Drilling
the skins to the spar
The
HS-614 and HS-610 are fabricated
...
and then install on the forward spars
The
HS skeleton completed and plumbed
Ed
Cole and my wife Cindy chat about the job
I
show off the HS with both skins on
I
test the finished product in the front yard!
The
VS skeleton goes together quickly
I
show the finished VS (but doesn't try to fly it)
I
fabricate tons of stiffeners
"The
cleco graveyard" - stiffeners cleco'ed to the skin
Everything
primed, stiffeners backriveted down, the spar in the foreground
The
truck is loaded up with the wings, fuselage, and canopy, and hundreds of odds 'n ends.
Safely
in the garage. I made a rolling wing caddy.
Here
I'm drilling the floor panels on.
Here's
something fun - temporarily place my stabilizers on the tail!!!
Taxi
back after landing. What a kick!
