A few pics from the last few months.

We headed to Aircorps Aviation this weekend to use the Farnham roller.

Our goal was to get the top skins formed for the fuselage and if we had time left over we would form the empennage and turtle deck. However, the machine couldn’t handle the .063 skins at 9 and a half feet long, but it was able to form everything else.

Thank you so much Erik Hokuf and Dan Matachek for all your help.

When we left Aircorps on Friday, I called Pat Harker and told him that the Farnham didn’t work and he suggested we use the press brake dies he built for the leading edges on his P-82, so then on Saturday we went over to C&P Aviation and after a couple failed attempts I think we nailed it!

Overall it was a great weekend and we can’t wait to start fitting up the skins.

We are all setup, can’t wait to see everyone at

We back drilled the right empennage skin today and we will hopefully finish the left tomorrow, then it’s time to start packing for Oshkosh.

She’s starting to look like an airplane!

The empennage is going on!

We finished riveting the fuselage this afternoon and we were able to pull it out of the jig for good.

Next we will build a fixture for the tail and start assembly of the empennage.
