Plans Coming Together

One of the things we've learned is that you need to reward yourself once in a while. These ribs were as good as they look!


After finishing the left side of the plane, we went to work on the right side where the door is. Entry into the aircraft is through one large door to access both the front and back seats. We looked into modifying the door and it's design, but, after comparing the two options, it seemed best to stay with the plans.

After the right hand side was completed, we built a framework of 2x4's to support and square up both sides. This allowed Becky "easy" access to tack weld the 7 crossmembers.






Now, we're getting an idea as to the real size and spaciousness of the aircraft! Plenty of room to set up a chair and make airplane noises.
