We managed to complete the sheeting on the bottom of the airplane at the end of last season, however, we missed the last opportunity to fiberglass the wings.
This winter, we didn't do much with the plane. We made some decisions, but that's about it.
We were planning on using the Corviar engine we had, but after yet another crank failure, and the rising cost of all the modifications, we have abandoned the Corvair. I have always wanted to build a Zenith 701, so the corsair will sit in the corner awaiting the next project where it will have a redrive system and the crank should not be a factor.
As it's getting warm out, we are coming around to Fiberglass season. The bottom and top of the wing are prepped, the templates of the fiberglass to cut out has been made, the majority of the fiberglass is there.
We need one more weekend to cut out the fiberglass and plan for the fiberglass day, and then we are ready!
