The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

Finally pulled the clamps off and the landing gear is ready to go back to it's rightful place on the fuselage. Firewall next, then covering.

These made it into my shop this morning. Belong to a flying buddy. The avistar is just getting stripped down and recovered to look like an L-4 grasshopper. The kadet he asked me to repair it (the fuse needs a lot) and take creative liberty on covering it. Should be fun.

The wing is massive on the kadet. Gonna try it convince my buddy to convert it to gas though and get rid of the slimmer on the nose.

This thread plays well with my ADHD. Don't get me wrong, I love regular build threads. But unless I'm building the exact same plane as the one in the thread my interest starts to wain after a while. But with this thread, it's something new every day! I love it!
