Not much to report just endless hours of flight metal and rivets but starting to look like a metal fuse.
Just a picture of the contrast between the titanium and aluminum panels.

I thought everyone would be interested in another century series jet the F-105 Thud. Joe Grice is in the stage of building this plane and as he is a master builder it will be a treat to see it evolve. It is 1/6th scale and the F104 1.5th scale. You can follow his build by following this link to his blog http://www.ultimate-jets.net/blogs/joe-grices-blog
Jack,
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the metal. It's a huge amount of work but the final product/reward/gratification is worth the pound of flesh you invest. After the work is done, and your bleeding fingertips heal, you'll smile like a grinning racoon admiring the jewel.
