Wing hold-down parts completed (tapped plywood for plastic screws).

This will take at least another month to finish.

Tip floats.

Blue stryrofoam insulation has joined the construction components.

I'm starting the wing top skins.

It's a slow and delicate procedure, but if I'm careful, it should come out neat and strong.

It'll take a few days.

Wing top covered. While still very light, the wing has become very strong; no twisting.

Wing tips. Once sanded, they look great.

Nacelles: I'm not sure how it'll come together, but I'll make it up as I go along.

Note the messy work table. It's indicative of a healthy mind.  ;D

I had been thinking earlier, "It will be nice to see it all together."  And there it is.  Very impressive, Michael.

Still working on the nacelles.

One nacelle 'skinning' is done. It took a long time because I had to cut each piece to fit, I had to wait until the glue dried for each piece before I could cut and measure for the next, and each edge had to be beveled for a reasonably accurate fit.

I still have to do the other nacelle, and then the cowls.
