Chapter 5 - Fuselage sides - Part 1

My latest shipment of materials arrived today. I considered both ordering from Wicks and Aircraft Spruce. Wicks sold the 3/4" R45 foam in 48x24 peices, that would have required 4 sheets for both fuselage sides. Aircraft Spruce had the sheets in 48x32. Not only where Aircraft Spruce's sheets cheaper, I also only need 3 due to there larger size, this saved me almost $100.00.

Pictured is my table saw. A table saw might seem like overkill, but it made measuring and cutting quick, easy and accurate.

Also some of you may be happy to notice my work table is showing good signs of use. Compare with the almost spotless surface a couple of months ago.

Chapter 4 bulkheads - part 2

I finally finished chapter 4. I was a little curious to see how this was all going to fit together so I clamped every thing up temporary.

Chapapter 4 bulkheads - part 1

It's been a while since my last post here, but with my brother's assitance we have made a moderate amount of progress.

On Friday the 21st, my brother headed down from Seattle and worked on the landing gear brackets while I worked on the front seat bulkhead. Also pictured are some spruce parts he prepared for me at his shop in Seattle.

The rear seat back was completed yesterday.
