I just updated post #4 with pics of the dry-fit mtorbox and a preview of what the cowl plug is going to look like. Enjoy

Really looking good Nate...congrats on getting the motor box cut out and dry fitted!
I'm curious how long it will take you to sand the cowl down to shape!

Excellent Nate Just Subscribed love watching a build come together

Thanks Waldo. If you have any suggestions feel free to pipe in

I cut the tail off the 70 slick yesterday and got the horizontal stab separated. It is in great shape! After seeing how the vertical stab is constructed I'm pretty sure I'm going to build a new one. I think integrating it with this project presents a bigger challenge than making a new one.

Nate,
I'm loving the progress on this build, but I have to admit I don't prefer having to "page back" to page 1 to see the new things you are doing.
Might you consider just adding to the end of the log for each new entry?
Regards,
Mike

That is a good suggestion... My reasoning for setting it up the way I did was to keep all of the build info together at the beginning for anyone who wanted to reference it in the future without having to scroll through comments to find the next build update. Maybe I'll do it both ways and reference back and forth to make it easier for you real-time readers
