The following pictures disclose the current condition of my airplane. For the most part, I have done little to it since I got it from Kim Powell. I will try to describe picture by picture what I have done.

Sorry about the poor quality of the photo to the left. It depicts the right wing with a strip of kevlar on the leading edge. I decided to use kevlar for its strength and weight and flexibility. It's a pain in the rear to cut with anything but a SUPER sharp and heavy duty pair of shears. I used the WEST epoxy system to do my bonding at this point.

A familiar picture to those who work with wood aircraft? It's one part of the T-88 glue system. I understand that this glue is perfect for bonding wood to wood but might loose its grip in high temperatures? I was using it for a while until I started using WEST epoxy.

This is the right side of the main spar. From the photo you can see the landing gear below and some of the plumbling for the hysraulic system and the brake.

From the same direction as above but now looking at the gear and it's hydraulic system.

The gear as seen from the inboard side, it folds toward the right.
