Wings are in the Cradle!

Post by smittysrv »

Just finished the right wing top skin and put it on to the cradle. Now it's time to tear down the old wing stand. That feels a little bit weird, having spent to much "quality" time with it. :wink:

Great Still Video. That Rocket you have in the video is the one I have as my avtar! He is from Stockton and flew up to Shelter Cove last summer (I've got his name somewhere). That is an absolutely gorgeous plane.
