Building season is upon us, folks!  Jim is back at the bench for the winter.  Starting to look a bit like a plane... Me thinks.                43% scale planes make a 10 foot long work bench look kind of short, don't they?  And this is without the engine, cowl and spinner!

 Hatch/Cockpit area, Cowling, cutting out/hinging Ailerons, and installing control horns, are all that remain before covering and painting can begin...  Tail-feathers are already hinged.....

Thanks to the North Star Flyers for hosting their Fall Picnic Event.  Temps were in the mid thirties in the morning, warming to a little over 40 degrees after lunch, but we bundled up, flew all day, and had a great time! 

Well, Jim's big 4.7 Meter Span ASW20 Sailplane Finally Flew!  Here it is, back on the ground in one piece, after its maiden voyage.
