Nothing much to report.
We are swamped with work and no time or more importantly energy is left for the Aero-3 project. The only thing is that the paint supplies are all in the process of being delivered to the shop.
But we have a posh new web-site up and running. You might want to take a look at it:

Fabric on the center section
At long last - here is the rest of the story on the centersection.
We left off, when the centersection was preped for fabric if you remember.
Then the first bigger top pieces go on.
Top side fully covered, except the edges.
Bottom side next.
One big piece of fabric!
Now trimmed down.
As with anything, the details take most of the time. Like this trailing edge going into the split flap area.
Or this.
I kinda like the end result.
I just realised that this is probably the most boring post ever. Sorry about that.
So next up, three things will happen.
First we are getting all the duck in a row for painting (paint, painter, paintshop).
This will probably take some time and in this time we will:
- fit the tailplane surfaces and fairings together
- fit the canopy to the fuselage and windscreen.
I want to get these out of the way before painting. Nothing is more frustrating then finding out that a mayor component does not fit after it has already been painted.
Luckily the above process does not require a concentrated effort like the centersection, as we are once again backed up with other work. Luckily.
Have fun!
