I realize I have my build blog on the EAA page but figured I would add some of the progress here as well. Being a new guy and never building one of these things, it has been aggravating and entertaining during the process.

Airframe is now complete and starting to learn how to skin/cover the airframe pieces. I am glad I have a couple people I have befriended that I can bounce questions off of when I have gotten stuck.

Will try to remember to add stuff here, but in the case anyone is interested:

Tonight was finishing the seam tape on the LH elevator and final heat shrink to 350°.
I see a few mistakes I made or that could be improved upon. Will see how it works out on the RH elevator and rest of tail pieces.
