coming together slowly... I like Frogtape a bunch - there are only one or two places I need to clean up and they were purely my fault. So minor though compared to what I have had to repair in the past.

thinking of step progression now. I can attach the motor and exhaust plumbing before the upper wing goes on..wind screens too and probably the panel lines. I still have to infill the top wing and get it all the way to paint prep - that's a week or two depending on 'stuff'..the tail control surfaces are built and are halfway to paint. Still so much to do - End of August probably before she is done

No need to rush. It's looking great.

Yep, take your time, savor the labor and enjoy the fruits of your talents.

no worries - low and slow is how it's going to go. The upper wing is going to be built as a model unto itself as there is so much detail to it. Working on these planes has been so therapeutic I can't even quantify it.

My Dad always said we were built for comfort, not for speed. Course, he may have been talking just about the Ducketts.
