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...

Left wing is in the jig

I have mounted the left wing skeleton in the jig. I have it all square/ plumb abd have now started to drill the main wing skin onto the ribs. Mike Mason was over to help me get started and I reviewed how to start drill the skin across the top, then down the center rib and from there working your way out to the corners. We got about a 1/4 of the way down and the weather let up so we went flying to Port Townsend. It was real windy over there and I got my first dose of a cross wind landing in a while. A little sketchy but I made it. I will get back to drilling the skin on today and then start working on the leading edge skin.
