While study original rigging diagrams, I noticed that I neglected to install a vital part of the engine exhaust system. I was reluctant to slice and dice at this stage, fearing damage to the fuse. I could not let the Tripe go with half an exhaust...all worked OOKEE DO KEEE!!!

The lumber yard...guess what I have been doing the past 5 days!!! The computer that cut this kit shorted 9 of the most popular wing component and made 9 extras of another. Everything worked out and no parts are left over....I think!

So far everthing seems to fit. Permanent attachment and perfect alignment way down the road

"Winging it!" again today. Fitting the upper wing and constructiong the lower wings. My logic....when the top and bottom are in place, the middle wing will fall somewhere in between...I hope!!

Another "High tech" jig for setting the wings. The cabane struts are the foundation for the tripe's wings. The struts and top wing are square to the fine and the wing is equally spaced to the table. This time the wings are attached top to bottom....I hope!!! No instructions with this kit.

Whoopie, I get to make two more, really four more, of these. Two days to get the top wing to this stage.
