Just updated my web site. Finished the Vertical Fin and Rudder this weekendand glued up my first elevator. I'm still making wing ribs, mainly precutting gussets. Both elevators should be finished within the next coupleof weeks, then it's on to the Horizontal Stab. If the gods are with me Iget to pick up my engine this week, that's when I will have lots ofquestions for you Corvair owners.Slowly but surely, my workshop is starting to look like I'm building aplane. http://home.cogeco.ca/~pietbuilder/Fin.htmKen GN1 2992krickards(at)CVCI.com________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2003 10:07:36 -0400

The nice thing about building these parts is the almost instantgratification you get, when it all goes together as planned and a day lateryou have something that looks like it belongs on a plane. A definite mentalboost, when you have been building wing ribs for so long!!KenGN1 2992-----Original Message-----
