Doug Eves sent this photo of the Ol' girl in flight. Taken from the ground, this is a great shot. You can see he is "relaxing" in his office in the sky...

Gas Tank Finished!!!!

I have finally completed all the pro-seal needed to complete the gas tank. I have to mount it back on the wing and counter-sink the upper row of screws. I am sure glad that is all done and now I can get moving again with the build process. I have been working on the right aileron. The stiffeners have all been drilled to the skin and now I need to etch, alodine and prime tomorrow. Then I will rivet the stiffeners to the skin and get going on drilling the skeleton to the skin. I have modified these ailerons by switching the end ribs around. I mounted them flush, so the flanges point toward the inside of the ailerons. I will have to use pop-rivets to rivet the end but that is ok. I want the edges flush for looks and maybe to gain a little more speed.
