The fabric on the left side is installed and it’s starting to look like an airplane! This is a detail oriented process but success can be found if you remember two words starting with “P”: Patience and persistence. You must work the wrinkles out while gluing around protrusions and off-square tubing while keeping your minimum seam widths in mind. It’s actually quite fun.
What’s better than coffee on a dreary, rainy day? Not much - not much. ☕️
...and the bottom is on! Next we are going to glue the sides to the fuselage being careful to maintain a 1” minimum seam width over structure (unless it’s a leading edge in which case it gets a 2” minimum overlap... unless it’s a leading edge on the wing then it gets a 3” overlap). Fun stuff! This plane will be used in rural Haiti in connection with an orphanage.
Today I’m getting the bottom exterior fabric piece glued on. Last week we finished the interior fabric and so this week it’s on to the exterior pieces! The interior pieces were smaller but took longer since we had all kinds of tubes and mounting brackets to glue around. Plus there were several spots where we had to reinforce the glued joints with twine stitching. In this picture, the airplane is rotated onto its left side so the bottom is accessible.
6 months. 18 lbs. He’s full of smiles and giggles. He has two teeth that just popped through, he sits like a champ and is busy doing the army crawl everywhere. ❤️
It’s funny to watch people fall off of things, apparently.
Janice picking a guitar. All I can pick is my nose but apparently that’s not an acceptable fireside activity.
What a scam. You pay the petting zoo owners for reject carrots so you can feed their animals. Still, Adi liked it. That’s how they get ya... through your kids. I really did want to take a baby potbelly pig home though but Janice said there’s enough pigs in the house already.
This sliding board is shocking.
This is what we’re doing today! It may not look like much yet, but the first pieces of fabric are getting glued onto the Bearhawk fuselage! It’s exciting because this is when the airplane starts to look like an airplane. First we’re doing the interior pieces then we’ll move on to the exterior pieces.
