Final Assembly

Now we have all the pieces to complete our airplane. Sally and The Boss get busy putting them together.

First we attach the tail section to the fuselage. Then the bottom wing goes on. The motor mounts on the firewall.

Time for those pesky wing struts. They need to be just a bit longer than the originals. Cut the pieces, add some glue... and pin them down to dry.

The main wing attaches first to the cabane struts... then to the wing struts. A perfect fit! Last, we add the landing gear.

Wow! We are ready to fly at last!

Although Sally is a fine pilot, The Boss is a bit worried about sending her up in an untested plane. They talk it over, and decide that a little professional help might be in order. Everyone heads to bed early; tomorrow will be a big day!
