Happy Birthday Mr.
Himes! I would also like to thank your wife, Mrs. Himes for pulling
my name three (3) Yes, count 'em, not one, not two, but THREE TIMES in

Week 153 - 12 October 2005 |
If you are not sitting down, do so
immediately! We Worked on the project tonight! Let me know when you catch
your breath and I will continue, hahahaha!
We spent the night making the cutouts for the
main wheels. Now for the first time in a long time the mains now retract
once again.
After some talking and catching up, we think we have
procrastinated long enough on glassing this bird. So I will check with Dale
Beck and Jeff Laven to see if they can help us with their expertise next
week. Keep your fingers crossed for the first glassing pictures next week!

Welp..........we done it...............Thats right we
started glassing the fuse.
Another BIG THANK YOU goes to Jeff Laven and Dale Beck. Jeff
supplied us with a scale, mixing cans, stir sticks and much much more needed
to start the glassing process. Dale Beck showed us the ins and outs of
glassing.
We got the bottom side finished as you can see by the
pictures.
Once Again.....Thanks Guys!

Week 155 - 26 October 2005 |
We worked on the project again tonight. Rick
couldn't make it as it was his daughter's birthday. Dale Beck was here again
to lead the way for us.
We started by doing some finish sanding on
the rudder, Next we did the blend sanding from last weeks glassing.
Once that was done we finished glassing all
the topside of the fuse and both sides of the rudder.
Pictures will show that we did not cutout the
excess material from openings and etc like we did last week. We will trim
that tomorrow night after the epoxy as set up real good but not hard from
curing yet.
The Epoxy we are using takes 72 hours to
fully cure out.
