Long hours, family vacations slows the build down.

So I thought the summer would bring me long hours of building bliss.  My first problem was I waited to long to order the wings so I did nothing for over a month.  Next life came in to the picture and my job started to take up all my free time (even cut in to my cycling!).  The last two weeks were spent doing family vacations that I planed on spreading out, but work forced them to collapse in to a two week time period and now summer is over.  I did get some work done on the wings, I have all the ribs attached to the left spar and am about to put all the ribs on the right spar.  I hope to build the wing cradles this weekend and get the rear spars started.  I can’t wait to get some skins on these things so people can tell what they are.  I am looking in to lighting solutions and autopilot servos as well as a heated pitot tube as I will need all this before I can close up the wings.  I ordered some corrugated tubing from Vans to run the wires in the wings and drilled the holes to 3/4″.  I hope to get the tubing this week so I can get it installed as well.
