Hi Ralph, fuselage is on its wheels. Starts to look like a plane! I will do some stuff to the fuselage and start building the rudder then, elevator etc. I leave some parts open (top of fuselage still cleco'd; seats open, nose) for putting wiring in etc.
Hi Ralph, the build is going forward. but there is still a lot to be done. Fuselage still like you have seen it lately. Stabilizer, elevator and rudder finished. Wings are 90%, slats 50%. Flaperons still to be started. I attended an EAA workshop lately about the electrical stuff. Very interesting. I am drawing up schematics and I am also collecting the proper tools for installing the wiring. Still thinking about the engine. I still like the ULpower. I have been to Belgium, to the factory. Talked to the designer and found out I know the guy from my previous life in car racing.
How is your plane going? Flying to Ionia airport some day?

I see your fuselage is making good progress.
What are your thoughts on the engine?
