Brief Description:  Christmas 2019 Progress

My brilliant plan to be extraordinarily productive on the CX5 over the winter holiday was foiled by the flu, which kicked me around for a while. If you have the opportunity, I recommend passing on the experience.

I did manage to get some work done. This shot looking into the garage shows my friend Alex who visited for the holiday (after I recovered) and in the background my wife Jenny. The pic was taken while getting the gutters cleaned and the lemon tree pruned. But if you look in the middle there, you can see the port side fuselage skin for the crew compartment aft of the main spar. I got that cut out, fitted, and pre-drilled. I also checked the fit on the starboard side, and huzzah! I built the plane symmetrically, and the same panel can be used as a template to cut out the starboard side mate.

Now I just have to duplicate the panel, widen the rivet holes, and prime and paint the panels...
