Hi
Just wanted to share a big milestone. I have finished that glueing/fitting/frame of the Delta Centre Section. All metalwork done, painted and fitted, all timber work (minus the grab rail) is done. I have the leading edge so will fit but not glue that in, then fit the top two outer pieces of ply and stop until I get to fit it to the fuse in the future. As I built this from scratch it has taken me about 120 hours. All from hand crafted metal and timber. Next time I will plasma cut. It was a good place to start and to learn how to build and start with metal and woodwork.
Its my first main part! Next stop - wing ribs.
PS I do have missing corner blocking on the centre leading rib. Oh and the cut outs took me too long. I gave up and will deal with the weight!
