Don't count on that Jack........

LOL I can't slow down Jack. If I do it may never get finished. I'm in the mood to do this and I'm having a lot of fun. I can't wait to start covering the thing.

So here's what I got done today.

Looking at the last pic I find that it could just as easily be done up 'military'. A dual mode model; cool

I want to be able to see it. My old eyes don't like the straining required for cameo. The inlets are just about done.

Either that is going to be a huge plane or your building table is a whole lot smaller than I remember. The Trubinator makes it look like a TV table.

Well designed; well built.

Yep, I hear you! You could sleep on my building table.
And just to clarify this for you Sandy, not with the plane. Well maybe not! Roll Eyes

Anyway I'm trying to get it finish for covering but there seem to be a lot of loose ends to tie up but I'm getting there. The back end of the wing mount is coming together and the turbine placement is looking good. Lot of lifting area on this plane!

Should be able to start work on the heat shield now.

Going to paint them silver and glue them on after the covering is done.

It's not quite finish but this is the heat shield.

Yap, I hear you and I though about doing the carbon thing but the alum is all it should need. It's try and true and isn't very complex.
