I'm behind as usual on the posts. No surprise there.
Since last year, we complete the foam wing rib and skins, and fiberglassed the entire wing with the help of 4 friends. Progress has been slow for the last few months as the majority of the work has been sanding and filling on the tops of the wings. We are using "Superfil" due to its extreemly light weight. It's expensive at $200 for 3 gallons, but it only weighs 6 lbs per gallon, so on such a weight sensitive airplane, it's worth it.
I had planed on purchasing a great plains engine kit, but with more and more wishy washy answers from greatplains, I have decided to look elseware. Until we get done flipping the airplane over while sanding it and filling, the engine could not be mounted and would just be sitting there rusting and getting dirty. Waiting a little longer will probably work out better.
I have some tools now that should make it easier for me to stay caught up on my posts. Well see how that goes!
