Dec 25, 2017     Van's practice airfoil kit       Category: Research

Started Van's practice airfoil kit (finished on Jan 5 2018 but not posting another entry just for that). I included pictures of the airfoil kit with clecos and then another with it finished along with the finished toolbox kit. I guess with both practice kits done the only thing left to do is start on the empennage...

Finished building my main work table with hardwood top and plywood shelf underneath. Also assembled 3 of HF's hardwood benches as aux building locations. One I built tabletop extensions for my DRDT2, Another I used the side clamp to hold my grinder with 6” 3m deburring wheel. I also assembled my bandsaw and drillpress.

Empennage kit arrived today. Still have some setup in the shop to take care of so it'll have to sit a while once we finish the inventory.
