Hey, congratulations CJ, that's great! Wait'll you start pulling ribs out of that box; there's a mess of 'em. Just think of the fluting, and drilling, and deburring... THAT will keep you off the street!

Have fun!

CJ, be sure you do not use the fuselage longerons shipped in the spar box for anything but the fuselage or you will have a slight problem. :bang:

Ahhhh, old fashioned airplane building!

All inventoried, right down to the last nutplate! I need to make up some more adhesive labels for the front of my organizer drawers, but I am close enough to say, DONE! Two small bags backordered. No problem, though. Just assorted whizbangs.

Well, Spike... I didn't take pictures of all the little bags laid out. I opened the big bag, checked them off and deposited them into the organizer as they were inventoried. I kinda went overkill on plastic tubs. I imagined more parts than there actually were!

Need to roll the leading edges of my elevators and then assemble the jig. Doin 'em together!

Here goes everything!
