Post 11: It's starting to look a lot like an airplane!

April 21, 2026

Progress is moving very quickly! My 1:1 plans make it very simple. Tomorrow I beef up the wing attachment spars and probably start mounting the tail section. I temporarily put the fin and rudder on to figure out where to glue a block so I can cut out a notch for my elevator spar. This will make the rudder and elevator easily removable. The stabs will become part of the airplane, saving immense weight in brackets and bolts. Thanks for your support everyone!
