Overdue Update

Long time since my last update. Here are some progress shots.

Varnish, varnish and more varnish!

Seems like the last couple of months has been spent varnishing everything. Probably because that has been about it. I did have another visit from follow Pietenpol builder Curt Merdan who helped me get one side of the fuselage installed. A much easier job with an extra set of hands. Thanks Curt!

Bottom two pictures show it trimmed up and with a coat of varnish.

 

 

 

 

Wires, Wings & Controls

Continuing to make progress. Sometimes hard to see, but I been adding cables, remounted the wings again. Spruce wing struts on the saw horses. Shaped and varnished. Need to trim to size.

 

 

 

Stick will have a cork handle I picked up at a bike shop. Just went in and asked about odd or mismatched handle bar grips. He brought out a cardboard box filled with grips. Spotted this one and he sold it me for $1.00. Put some varnish on it and it looks great.
