Bottom Wing Skins Completed!

We have completed the five bottom wing skins and are now ready to finish assembling the top wing skin mold's leading edge. Here is a picture of me (Darryl) standing in front of our hanger at Livermore Airport (LVK) and the 5 bottom wing skins laid out behind me.


You can begin to appreciate the size of the wing for our little airplane! Without the wingtips, the
wing is about 30 feet long.

This coming week Chuck and I will be finishing the top wing skin mold.

      Love to have you come and visit anytime!  We would enjoy seeing what you are doing with sharply curved skins. We are currently preparing to do the top wing skins which have much more curvature than the bottom skins. We will let you know how that goes!
