Status August 2008 - Wings assembled / attached
August 18th, 2008
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.
