Ah! Gotcha. I do really like how your site has the little sidebar with all your posts broken down by what part of the plane you were working on. I haven't figured out how to do that for my blog on Google blogger yet, it'll only group posts by date. Anyway awesome work!

She looks great Ryan! I'm glad you're back on the project and from the way it looks, you're getting really close! What's left to do at this point?

Great work and beautiful airplane!!

This video is over a year old, but since I didn't hardly get to the plane in the past year and it's less than 20 hours of build time ago, it's still recent! Final Rivet on the airframe:
