yup, I missed my target

As expected I missed my target of starting to assemble the fuselage.  However, I am very happy that I did miss this target.  I got to go on a great flight Saturday!  Jeff asked me to join him and Harry on an afternoon flight and man what a flight it was!  We left Thun field and climbed up to 9500 feet and headed east.  A short stop for fuel and we ended up at Grande Coulee Dam.  what an awesome day of flying.  I have a couple of pictures that I will post below.  I did manage to get all of the bulkhead pieces primed and I did start on the first longeron which tuned out to be a quite a challenge.

What a beautiful flight back.  The Cascade mountain range from the East Side.

The longerons as I was marking them up for bending.

Ok, it may be just me but these rivets just look sexy on that nice freshly primed piece of aluminum.
