Wrapping it up

Back at it. I'm going to make a separate post about stitching the wings, but the next morning we jumped right into covering the right wing. 

Jim started on the fin, a seemingly simple covering job, but because it's mounted on the boom tube already it's a real pain. Also note the compound curves at each corner. Nothing to do but move slow, and plan each step.

Again, Jim has tricks gained from years of building, so you'll understand if we skip ahead. Jim offers builder's assistance for a fee, and to me his fee is far too cheap for the time you save. 

Rudder and fin complete, time for some access panel reinforcement gussets.

The 11 days Jim was out went by too quickly. A lot of progress was made, and a lot still to go. Jim left me with an extensive list of where to go from here.

Here's to you, Richard, wherever you are.
