First build of the year 2013


Some distractions I tells ya. Fist I go on a much needed very enjoyable three month holiday in the new caravan. (Which if I sold I could buy Two second hand Corby Starlets, and still have change).

Then we decide to sell the house and look for a new one. So renovations and improvements. Move all the junk in to the garage, my building space! To keep the rest of house uncluttered and desirable.

Anyway, getting ready to move into a place that will have a brilliant building space and workshop spaces for laying out drawings, benches etc etc.

Anyway have to get the wing and fuse ready for the move. In its current state the fuselage is fragile until it gets its plywood skin to give it strength. And the leading edge piece of the wing has been sitting loose for Ages.

So first gluing in a very long time. Some minor repairs to the fuse where bumped stringers came unattached. Fixed. And of course the wing leading edge glued, fixed and now ready for the plywood bending over the leading edge wing "box". Do I dare before I move? I have about five or six weeks to decide.
