Building my Hornet STOL Aircraft. Saturday, April 01, 2006. There have been numerous hands helping in this project and they belong to Shae, Phil, Glen,Mark, my wife Jo and the two kids Jess and Josh. With a project like this it is all ways good to have extra hands to call on when needed. The next pieces to construct are the tailfeathers,the horizontal stabilizer and elevator skeletons are inverted however we are not skinning these until we have finished the fuselage. That is it for now more soon.
