Python continues to go backward.
Ripped off more covering, sheeting and stringers on the turtle deck last night.
Soon will be time to start moving forward, but a few more issues remain.
Yes that looks like it is turning into complete rebuild, if it was mine it would stripped of everything and put away for the winter to be rebuilt. Collecting parts during the summer and go full speed at it for next summer. Nice project for the winter months.

5" wheels!! wohooooooooo!!! With everything green in this world I hope you put a pilot figure with a long scarf in it.
Speaking of green, I have these old school green wheels I’ll probably use on it. And yes I plan to come up with some sort of pilot figure. Even it’s its just a crazy troll doll with a scarf. :D

Didn’t make much progress on the Pietenpol today. Had too much yard work. Then once I got to work on the Pietenpol, I realized some parts where missing. Ugh. Some of them will be easy to make. Like the firewall and landing gear blocks. But it was also missing one of the pre-shaped cockpit blocks. So I decided to tackle he hardest one first. Started out with a large block of balsa and trimmed it down with my miter saw. Then switched to my chisels, then the razor plane. Then the sanding block. Came out pretty nice. Much easier and quicker than I thought it would go too.
