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...

One more thing

I just want everyone to know that I have a really awesome wife!
Cut, Cut, Cut and Edit.
My wife is sneaking on here and being funny. That's OK, I know her Facebook password!
Actually, this is a airplane blog. However, we all know that if you are going to build an airplane and have a family, it takes a very special woman to understand your passion for building, owning and flying airplanes. And the kids are crazy about it too! My family is awesome.

Working on the aileron/main wing skin

I know, I know. I haven't posted anything in a while. However, I have been working on the main wing skin and the aileron. My buddy Mike came over several weeks ago and we got the main wing sking riveted on. This was of course, after I deburred, dimpled and primed all the wing skins. Once the main wing skin was on, I could start work on a aileron. Last one too!
The aileron is almost done and I will have to start getting it mounted onto the wing. I have two airfoil templates that will position the aileron in place and then I can drill the attach brackets to the rear spar. Once this is done I can start working on the flap. Once the flap is done, I am all done building control surfaces. Thank God that will be done. With the flap in place, then I can start installing wiring, pitot tube plumbing and rivet the bottom wing skins in place. Then comes the wing tip. I will then be done making wings and can start fabbing up the fuselage bulkheads.
