3/14/2010 I'm almost done with glasing the wing ribs.  Once that's done I have to pack the exposed foam edges with a mixture of cabosil, micro and epoxy and then final sanding to precise shape.

I'm also finishing up the seatback so I can install it once I can work in the garage.  The seatback, rear bulkheads, control tunnel, horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer can then be installed.  At that point it will begin to look like a real airplane.

I'm going to order the canopy early in April so I can build a jig to make the tail cone.  I need canopy measurements to determine the tailcone shape.  I'm still pondering which one of several methods I'm going to choose to mount the canopy.  Right now I'm laning toward a forward tilt with pivot points on the forward fuselage.
