Made the bottom sheeting this afternoon. Will glue on another day.

Took advantage of really sweet late November weather for NC and flew Friday afternoon and Saturday. Today while putting packs on storage charge I trimmed some of the bottom sheeting over hang as well as cut and glued the aft fuse top in place. Need to do some sanding on both then do the sheeting for the wing's top.

Well still looking good! I'm still watching and learning!

A lot of sanding today. Sanded the edges of the bottom wing sheeting flush and sanded the fuse top to blend with the sides. Instructions were clear to not shape the fuse top yet. I then started work on the wing too sheeting by getting jigs in place and created one sheet for covering the wing from the spar forward.

Spent time today sheeting the top of the wing. The forward pieces are glued on and the aft sheeting is made. Next I glue the aft sheeting in place.

I was able to get the wing top sheets dry fitted, trimmed, and dry fitted once more. Next is to glue them in place. First side I made is a little short. I'll patch as needed.

As my last update for 2015, the top of the wing was sheeted today. I then dry fitted all the parts together. I'd estimate being 75-80% complete now.
