Merry Christmas 2016

Were are we now?

Currently I am moving from front to rear completing all areas to be ready for that final check and adjustment. The wings are nearly kitted out awaiting installation of the tanks and  finally the skins. A final task to be finished is the fuel connections to the external tanks which have yet to be finalized by myself and the factory.

In July I began to experience extreme pain in my ankles and this was put down to old age and working on floors at 2 deg C. After the boys from the factory left is got worse but work on I did with ever decreasing output.

Finally went to a doctor and after the usual tests it was diagnosed the membrane on the underside of the foot was damaged annoying the nerves and resulting in inflammation at the ankles. Cure is rest, meaning no power walking of any kind for the next six months plus a month on anti-inflammatory's.

Thank God for miracle of modern medicine as good health it the most precious commodity next to time in the world.

Next Year?
The goal is to finish the fuselage to the nose, close the wing and paint the air frame.

Merry Christmas to all
