Nicely bone coming along slowly.

Covering is done!!! Can’t say there were times that I wasn’t sure if it would get to this point but now that it’s here it’s pretty exciting. With this big thick wing it sure is going to be a fun change of pace from my 100cc extra.

Finally got my butt back in gear. Life sure has a way of jumping out and grabbing you sometimes. I guess making sure you have enough covering always helps too

After a few weeks of staring at the trim(which has been cut and laid out) to go over the white I got my over-analytical butt in gear and started going at it. Reason I had ran out of covering was due to the age old mistake of cutting 2 right sides instead of a left and a right Ended up being a blessing in disguise because I totally screwed up the piece that I had 2 of and was able to get the second one down pretty nicely. All that’s left in the covering department is a couple small swoops that are already cut and this thing will be on to assembly. Old man winter has sure hit us pretty hard pretty early this year so pretty slim chances of flying in 2018 but it’ll be for sure ready for next years flying season

Guess this is probably a pretty worthless post with out some pics huh

Dang @Joshet89

That Big Stick sure looks AWESOME. seeing all of your progress is kinda bumming me out because I still have no clue when I will get back to mine. . . . . . You're on the home stretch now. . . . . .

Go ahead and get her finished up. Mother nature may surprise you and give you a couple of good flying days this winter. I cannot wait to see some pics of that bad boy all finished up with your DA70 bolted to the firewall.

I predict your Stick will become you go to plane when its done. It doesn't care about how much wind is blowing or which direction it I coming from. It is just simply a pure joy to fly. . . . . .

I really hope so, I have hopes that my son will learn to fly on this like I learned on the one my dad and I built when I was younger.

It was certainly strange to shift my brain back to ARF building mode and going thru the what seems like a much shorter list now to get this thing airborne!

Depending on your location you could be flying it within 2 weeks. Nicely done.

Man 2 weeks would be amazing! However a job in the car business running a finance department 2 kids 2 yrs and 10 months old and the holidays coming up means little time for the hobbies. Oh well 3 and half years since I started, whats another few months

I know they can keep you finance guys pretty busy. That's why I'm assembling a Krill Ultimate for a friend. He's one of 5 finance guys at the dealership he works at and a 10 hour day is common. Add a nearly 2 hour round trip to that each day and it doesn't leave much time for working on airplanes.
