| julinick, Brian......Thanks a great deal for the vote of confidence. We still have quite a bit to accomplish before the "Rotund lady sings!" The adventure concludes when the 4 bladed air screw is fabricated and installed. I have not decided upon the wood....oak or walnut???? |

| rayl...I am well aware of the look, the glance, shot in my direction, by the wife, while I peruse the potential building supplies in a Kraft store |

| 'K. I profess (tongue in cheek) that I am a descendent of Helen Keller as I can look right at something and not see it. It's especially true when my wife is looking on as I try to find a can of tuna in the pantry. |

| They are beading crimps located next to the beading wire, usually, that is. |

| Been meaning to ask: Where do you get the little ferrules to crimp on the rigging? I managed to find the beading wire at Hobby Lobby, but the ferrules have eluded me (and the guy at the local bait shop). |

| rayl. Thank you. Sharing the build with others is part of the process. I have learned 80% of my building technique here on VA. When I first started this hobby a few years back, upon completing a model, I would walk around the house flying it while making engine and gun noises. My wife "loved" the flights. Fortunately she knows I am a bit twisted. Now with the titanium knees and Ogre's span these dawn patrol flights do not occur. I had all intensions of starting the flight and bracing rigging today but I am side tracked building the lever and cable mechanism that raises and lowers the Lewis guns. |

| Like the guy that built the boat in his basement; can you get it out of there? In all seriousness, the Ogre is tremendous piece of work. Thanks for sharing. |

A big day in little Ogre’s life that being permanent wings. |

The epoxy molecules have once again worked their magic. |

Ogre’s 106.68 cm. upper wing span defines the limit to the shop work table. |

Now onward to the flight and bracing wires! |

| Brian, Organized confusion to be exact. Strange as it may seem, everything has an assigned location, and during warm time each year the flotsam and jetsam stay located and accessible 😀 |

| is this what you call an organized mess, john? |
| John M Oshust, Image # 33516 | 17 Mar 15 12:02 |
Four areas remain inn Ogre’s compltetion: 1. Organize and tidy the shop. 2. Install the flight and rigging wires. 3. Connect the aileron linkages and cables. 4. Fabricate and install the airscrew. |
| John M Oshust, Image # 33515 | 17 Mar 15 12:02 |
The little shop is vacuumed and organized a tad in preparation for the rigging wires. |

Organization finds lost treasures and tools. |
