I must admit that your worry is one of my future “worries”. I haven’t started assembling my wing panels yet. All the basic bits are built. My basic plan was to bring the complete wing panels up to the fuselage with it on my bench. Then with the aid of a spirit level, lazer level and digital protractor line up the rear spar in the fuselage to make it work and then glue the rear spar to the fuselage. I built my Sonex this way, I still took 2 days to “only” drill 4 holes however. I’m still a bit away from making vroom, vroom noises yet. Regards Richard.

Hi Nev, do you know whether it is flying or still under construction? I stopped off there on the way to Avalon this year for coffee, fuel and a bacon and egg sandwich. If I’d known it was there I’d probably have missed my landing slot at Avalon. I’m always up for an excuse to head off on a mission.

Good evening gentlemen, I think that I make builder number 3 in the world of Taylor Monoplanes. Mine is currently about 50% complete with approximately 150% left to go. I can’t quite sit in yet unsupported but I’m close. I haven’t started assembling the wings yet, I’ve got a pile of ribs for the outer panels and the spars complete. I’m still to do the ribs for the centre section, but I’m holding those off until the outer panels are assembled so as to make sure that I get the rear spar in the right spot in the fuselage. I’m planning on Jabiru power, I do have a spare AeroVee however I am a little dubious of the crankcase casting. I want to save a little weight and most importantly avoid hand propping to start it. The nose will grow a couple of inches to fix the C of G issue with the lighter engine. Mine is constructed from hoop pine as spruce is almost impossible to obtain in Australia and the costs are eye watering. I’m a bit slow, and I’ve needed a couple of motivational kicks up the arse to keep it progressing. Here’s a couple of pictures of mine so far. Regards, Richard. Gawler, South Australia.
