First fuselage picture!!! Nothing too exciting, just the front horizontal tail
frame in the jig. If you look close, you can see the board that closes the jig
on the right side (top of ht frame).

Here are the frames as they will be installed on the bottom fuselage skin.

A simple ordinary man with a simple ordinary rear fuselage bottom skin assembly.

Almost done! Actually, this is just me mocking up stuff so I can take
cool pictures, er... to get a better understanding of the construction.
This is SO MUCH FUN!!!

Any last looks before I close up "the hole"? This is the interior of the rear
fuselage between the front and rear ht frames, looking aft.

"Wichita Departure, Experimental blah blah, with you three thousand for eight, two six zero."
|
"Experimental blah blah, Wichita Departure, radar contact, resume own nav and altitude.
Reduce speed, two zero zero until outside class C."
|
"Experimental blah blah, roger, own nav and altitude,
slowing two zero zero, sorry for the speed..."
Well, maybe not quite...
|
Well on our way for a Jabiru 3300.
