After making an endless stream of little parts which according to the directions will eventually have something to do with an airplane, my son and I yesterday joined the main wing spars!!! You should have seen the smile on his face. A big piece that definitely looks like part of an airplane. So, looks like there are a few more plans pages to go....onwards.

Very cool Gordon! Adam and I are hoping to hit that milestone before he turns 14 later this summer. We have it easy though, just need to pull the spars out of the box. Hey, I used to live about 32SM from you. Heck of a swim though. Keep on building!

Cool. I take the ferry to Indian country for work, but I guess I would swim HOME if I needed to...
