It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to work on the plane for a number of factors. Included among those was the fact that we discovered that the leading edge clamps we had weren’t quite right...

I’ve been working with Craig on his plane a bit recently and we started his leading edge skins. We’ve still got a fair bit of work to do in order to finish up his right wing, after which we’ll move...
