Early May 2016 Update

Current status:

  - Working on my third aileron, this will be a re-do of the right aileron which suffered from trailing edge problems. When I riveted the left aileron everything worked out fine, however the right one had a gap. I tried carefully to drill out the rivets however it is a difficult process to drill out the double flush rivets without either damage or enlarging the hole.

  Right after that will be the wingtips and then I need to remove the wings from the garage and start the tail kit / tail cone.

  Like many builders there has been a bit of a stall as life's other priorities sneak in. I do agree with most, that if you can keep to at least 30 minutes or more a day things move on. I fell into the trap of waiting until I had large amounts of time to work on the project which caused the momentum to slow down.  Back to it!
