Airframe Assembly

A public showing at the 2006 Great Southwest Jet Rally.  Yours truly. 

I installed the wing tilt servo and the wing mounting brackets. The installation isn't totally finish and needs a bit more work. 

I plan on using the two long rails for nesting the fuel cells.

Here is the business end of the wing tilt.

Finally the wing pivot mount is installed.

This shot shows wing in the approximant up position.

Starboard side main gear doors.

The first section of the inlet is now installed. The first section is 28" long. 

The second section will be 32". The aft section of the inlet will be removable

for easy access of internal fuselage items.  

Hello down there.
