Nice tin canoe!

Need to lop off the top of that stainless transom in order to install that electric motor!

Nice work!!!

WV,

I only wish it were mine. In a few more weeks, I will be moving into my hanger. It's not nearly as nice (though it is 10 minutes from home, instead of nearly an hour).

I've been paddling along in mine for a bit now... Here's a picture of me in my canoe from this past summer.

After some paddling around, I did manage to get the tail feathers mounted and setup.

I guess you can't really call it a canoe at this stage. I've now removed them so I can finish the interior and extract it from the cellar and into the garage this fall, so it is back into canoe mode again.

Pat and Dave, looking great! Looks like we have several people working on their fuselages. Keep the info and photos coming, along with any hints those of us behind you might be able to use.

Not too much lately, but in the next couple of weeks I should have all the interior seats and side arm stuff done, so I'll be sure to snap off some then and post.
