It's been a year since I started, with a couple lost months waiting for wing delivery, and for shop heater installation, and for shop A/C installation... but I'm happy with where I am in the project. Tanks are done and leak-free, leading edges are done, landing lights are installed. I'm building both wings at once so it seems to go slow sometimes.

Here's a pic of the builder:

Looking good Dave! Has it been a year already? :o

Those sure are some fine looking wing stands your using. :wink:

Also I see some of the floor mats like Sam's sells stuffed under the bench next to the inspector. Those are great when you get to the fuselage. They really help save the knees when crawling around underneath it.

Your project is moving along faster than mine and it looks good. Having a nice place to work is so important.

Very nice. The rate of progress isn't all that important. The important part is enjoying the ride.
That being said, it looks like you've had a busy year!
