Starting the year on a good note. PDF Print E-mail

Now that the Mustang II fuselage is sitting vertically I'm going to make use of the shop space to "quick" build the Legal Eagle fuselage.  New years eve I built the two 2'x8' tables and clamped them together to make a single 2'x16' table and leveled them out.  Janurary 1st I laid out the stringer and station locations, clamped the lower longerons in and started fitting tubing.  By the end of January 2nd I had the tail tack welded (minus the tailpost), built the jig for custructing the "cabin" portion and started on fitting the station 3 vertical tubes.  Two days in and I'd guess I'm nearly 1/2 way done with the major fuselage construction.  I'm certainly a fan of the progress so far.  Osh' 12 or bust!
