I thought it was about time to show the progress on by Skybolt build. I have gotten a ton of help from the Forum. Especially from Bill, Ward, Fidot, John, and Dave Baxter. I don't know if it's really going to be a 540, but it sounds cool. I would have to sell my guitar collection to afford a 540. It's going to have stock length SS ailerons, stock tips, upgraded actuation hardware, per Bill's suggestions, and extra ribs to help with drumming. I laminated my own spars. We have a good source for old growth spruce here in Oregon. That's as far ahead as I have thought it out. No upper wing yet, I'm still building ribs.
Here's some shots from my loft.
