Well back to work on the project tonight. I have had some
concern that we are having problems with the project. There is nothing
further from the truth. We are committed on finishing this project, only we
no longer have a specific time table and that seems to bother some of you.
So just bear with us, the project will get done, although, we will have even
grayer hair! Enough defense, now the offense. We
worked exclusively on the belly pan and and the wing fillets. Being a while
since we worked, we had to get our head on straight as where we were. Check
of the plans and a quick look of our pictures from full scale and we were
ready to work. Most all the work on the fillets were on the starboard side.
The front finally starts to take shape. A little more
rough shaping and sanding and we call it good, Meanwhile the rear block is
getting rough shaped and looking good, It is now decided to cut the port
rear block to match the starboard before too much shaping happens. The rear
blocks are left way oversize and will be shaped better next week.
