I have just got home from doing some work on the plane – which has been productive today. We finally got the longerons finished today, basically. By finished, I mean we got them fully drilled, and they are the correct shape, basically which is fantastic. I think we will need to do some cleanup of the metal – basically just fixing the tooling marks from the bending and removing them.

We also decided to work on front of the plane – arround the instrument panel. This looked really amazing. We also placed the frame from the cannopy on… I think the reaction from all those who saw the work believed that this was becoming a really serious plane.

During the week Richard is planning to spend some time getting parts cleaned up during the week, and we are looking at doing some painting of the parts on the weekend. Then we will be able to start riveting the plane together. And the riveting should come together rather quickly from all accounts.

Before leaving this morning I did some more sit-ups…. I managed to get 25 done. This was 5 more than the last time. I also have no ill effects from the exercise too. I just need to keep this up… What I find is that exercising is a great time for me to think. And becomes really really productive time for me…
