The leading edge on the second wing is now done.
once the filler is dry i can finish smoothing the wing and start on the nacelles. :cheer:

well i have some wheels for the u/c now, so the next job is to fit the beech bearers for the retracts and look at fitting it all.
pipe work yummy, never done this before. could be interesting.

big buggers though.

number 3 cowl is now fitted and blended into the nacelle.
need to sort number 4 next after a coffee break, takes a while to cut out the openings, make up the inner framework and then trim to fit.
so if i can get number 4 done today i will be pleased.
hope to cut and fit the retract bearers tomorrow. (misses allowing)

Would love to be there for the maiden flight.
Somebody called me 'pretentious' the other day.

I nearly choked on my latte.
