On 1/22/2011 I enlisted friends and loved ones to help me hang the 1 piece wingfor the first time. I will be so proud to hang it with covering and paint on it.If I had it to do again I would build the 3 piece. Covering will be a challengeby myself. It looks like there will be several Piets finished in a year or so. I hope tofly in 2011.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rollingusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/a10_ ... __________

Very nice! My only complaint about building the 1 piece wing was that, during covering, Ialways had to find someone to help me flip it over, and there's not always someonehandy. It's a big piece of plane.--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
