A quick glance at my countdown timer to the right of this column tells a scary tale of how little time I have to get this plane done. Originally designed as a motivator, I haven't really been paying attention to it. Now with just over 400 days to go I really have to get moving. After battling with a broken snow-blower belt on New Years Day, I managed to get over to the shop for a it of building therapy. A couple of quick photos of what I got done on the 701 wing repair - getting so close to moving it into storage and starting assembly on parts that I've made for my plane. Unfortunately, Ron was gone for the night and I couldn't find the right squeezer anvil head for these rivets, so it will have to wait until I can ask them. It's probably right under my nose, but rather than rush when I was tired tired it can wait until next time. Going to order some more aluminum this week. I'll post more to my blog about that next time. Happy New Year everyone, thanks for reading!
