knpage Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Very slow this having to work for a living gets in the way. Took on more than I could chew with the wings. Was told start with the smaller components first to get the feel of it and see more progress. Wing frame work done so far and went well - next fuselage frame work on the cards.

knpage Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Yes very slow progress I'm afraid, work takes more time from my desire getting on with the build. Wing frames done and started on the rudder recently. The trick is to do something each day you have off if you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
