Building N679PG

June was a crazy busy time. Between the new job, the Centurion Flight activities, high school graduation, and the boys volleyball, it’s amazing that anything got done. But it did! And with a strong push at the end of the month, we were able to complete the major items left on the Fuselage build! Read on for all the details.

So far, May has been a great month of building, flying, and spending time with the family. Lots of good progress before I head out to start the new job! So close to fuselage kit complete!

As usual… what I thought would be a short effort ended up being quite some time but in the end I have some moving flaps!

With the wings on, it’s time to get to all the items that can’t be done without them attached. As I wrapped up February, I was able to start knocking down the list of items needed to wrap up the fuselage kit.

February is off to a great start with major progress on the fuselage. With two main tasks remaining before wing fitting, me and the build crew were motivated to get them knocked out! Read on for the details.

January come and gone! Although not a ton of sessions, we did get through a few miscellaneous projects and kicked of the fwd top skin work. Read on for more!

With a bunch of prep sessions and a single EPIC riveting session with Sam, we have officially gotten past the canoe stage by permanently attaching the aft top skin! We’ve got a Fuselage! Read on for the *riveting* details.
