Paul,

Sorry if they are a bit dark, it was getting late when I finally got round to taking them. You probably ought to mention that the carbon tail spring failed during 'testing' (me jumping up and down on the rear of the fuz!) so we are back on a steel spring!

As I am fairly sure that my steel fuselage is heavy, I am on a bit of a weight saving mission and have been working on a carbon tail spring.

I have made a small front instrument panel and fitted a 'glove box' on the right-hand side and finally finished a rear instrument panel after 3 attempts!
The plywood floor and seats are fitted, the frames for the two instrument panels are in place, with the ply skin on the front one.

Wing spars signed off. All wing ribs completed. Currently preparing Leading and trailing edges to complete 'kit' of parts for wings.

I have had all my tailplane parts signed off now and am working on the fuselage.
