Well Guys,

Here are some pictures of the progress made so far with the empennage kit.
We have finally finished the vertical and horizontal stabilizer, rudder and elevator.
All parts so far except for the skins have been painted with zinc cromate.
We await the delivery of the wings.

So far the project has gone extreemly smoothly without any hassels.
Yes it does take alot of time, but anything worth doing right takes time.
It has been three weekends so far and all looks good.

Thanks to Mike from the airplane factory for the advise over the phone.
The kit is well packed so far and build manual very well illustrated with a good explination of how all fits together.
We will enjoy every moment while putting her together.

We await the wing kit next and will post pictures as soon as we start the build.
