Here is where I stand 10 days after kit reception. The tail and horizontal stabs are pretty much completed (except for the skins installation) and I have started the ailerons, rudder and elevators. I am still debating which way to go as far as Basic ultralight versus Amateur built, in Canada we have both choices available. If I opt for amateur built, I will need to have the parts inspected before covering. Anyhow, I will have time to decide later.
I have included some pictures to show my progress. Since I am a first time builder, it took me some time to properly install my work area. The drawings are complete but sometimes confusing in terms of referencing the assembly of some detail part (a BOM would help). I am wondering why some tail bented parts were not done as part of the machined angle option? Don't forget to plan for either a vise or other means of bending equipment. I guess that in order to meet the 51%, we have to do some work and it is OK by me. I have 35 hrs invested up to now.
I really appreciate Sonex's response to my questions (thank you Kerry). For my first experience, I am having a ball!
