Battery box made up. It wil take 2 18ahr batteries, giving a total of 36ahr cranking power. That should be good to crank an 0200 into life. Panel also in. I have already started hooking up the wires.

Carrying on with the build. "Nostrills" on, cowling basically complete, but need some aly sheet. Will have some towards the coming weekend. Wing far along, will post pics of that later. All the wiring and plumbing done, and the engine turns when u hit the starter button. Radio working. Still looking for an altimeter.

As die krag more daarby is, sal ons die vlerk klaar assemble, en al sy staal komponente insit. Sal dan beter foudies vat. Hoekom wil Oom so graag my vlerkie sien....mmmmmm? ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ##

The little wing is coming together real nice now. Now just to add some glue, and a couple more match sticks, and voila! (^^)
