Panel Option 4.3 - Update to the panel. Nothing significant has changed. Simply working through some enlarged panel views and thinking more specifically about needed switches, labels, etc.

Another look at the progressing paint scheme by --> Plane Schemer <-- . Pretty happy with this. While there may be some additional tweaks along the way, this is the substantial direction. Now to start working out the interior !! Two thumbs up to Jonathan at Plane Schemer. Onward!

Can't say enough good things about Jonathan and --> Plane Schemer <-- . Really tallented and a very well managed process. Two thumbs up. Makes me want to rush through the build to get to the paint !!

Working with Jonathan at Plane Schemers on the paint... Obviously, I am a long way away from painting. Have plenty of time to work through options. The family thought it would be fun to do a Clemson themed airplane. Couple of the options Jonathan came up with. BTW, he is in Alabama... :)

Continuing video clips of the horizontal stab build. Vans does a good job of slowly working you into larger and more involved parts...

Have the skins mostly clecoed into place. Match drilling lots of holes next.

Small change in schedule. I ordered the QB fuse for delivery in July '20. The plan was to renovate our walkout basement to allow a wide door and build there. A property came available very near my residence. So, we decided to build a new building. In this building I am including a rear shop space for the build. You can never have too much shop space ! Anyway, I asked Vans to delay the fuse delivery until October or November. Result is an approximate 3 or 4 month delay to the schedule.

Have been making slow progress on the horizontal stab. Front and center ribs are primed and riveted. The front and middle formers are in place. Support forms made and ready to start clecoing the skins on.

Short video / slide show of the rudder build added / updated to the top of the rudder page.

Dr. Ken Sauve's QB fuselage arrived this weekend. While trying to set the fuse into the cradle the wing spar bolts conflicted slightly with the E restraint. Dr. Ken was kind enough to send me pictures and offer a suggested modification. New cradle drawings are posted showing a narrowed E element on both sides. Thanks again Dr. Ken !
