I’m sure everyone who surfs this site (all three of you, including my mom) has been wondering why there are no updates. Our move to the new house took most of the summer, and then we disappeared to South Africa on vacation. It’s September now, and the shop is back up and running, so it’s time to get back to the tanks.
Here’s one tank back in the jig for match-drilling and countersinking of the skin-to-baffle holes. This process is slightly tricky, since the tank skins are exactly the minimum thickness (0.032″) for countersinking.
Captain John stopped by for a visit. We think that the wingtip plexi would make a great low-profile canopy.
