Down the street
This is the only time of year I don't hate big trucks and SUV's... They were the only ones making it up and down the streets.

Dozens of kids floated by throughout the day
I saw an airboat drive by earlier but didn’t have my camera…
Ok, so no real progress from March thru July of 2008. However this month we’ve resumed progress and managed to get the wing pieces cut, drilled, and attached to the fuselage. Also for the first time we get to see what it looks like with the dacron sails installed. If you ask me, they’re pretty ugly :) For $300 who can complain though. We’ve been tossing around the idea of painting the center section black which may improve the aesthetics and also hide any dirt, oil, or carbon buildup from the engine.

The next step is to install the engine mount, and then bolt on the Kawasaki 440. Stay tuned.
