That cockpit looks great VB. Definitely comes across as having it's fair share of activity and then some.

Great to see you back at it VB. I was wondering if you'd parked this thing on the shelf. Looking forward to more!

Great job David. And the thing is more advanced in design than we thought - it's got coffee cup holders for the pilot and co-pilot !

Thanks guys.

Got to spend a couple more hours on her tonight - mainly working on the main wing spar.

1 - Rest of the ribs were added as well as the outer bottom plates. A lot of sanding and scrapping had to be done in order to get the parts to fit. The Port wing spar needs to be bent a little to offset some improper molding.

2 - Attached the flight controls as well as the side cockpit walls

Next step is more sanding using the Dremel tool to get the top wing plates to fit properly.
