Bare with me fellas. Back to back RTF builds. I'll try get pics on here best I can. Does anyone want access to my Google photos? Wait, maybe that's dangerous. :lol:

Happy to take photo requests.

I'm not sure which I admire more - the build or the shop it's taking place in! :lol:

Funny to that Peer and I were just talking about putting on the Oratex as well as I was reading in the build manual about the application and sealing of the ribs. By the way that's a great manual. Detailed really well. Feel free to post a link or picture from your Google photos!

Peer is in the middle of building the supports for towing with folded wings. It's a pretty cool design he's got to keep vibration and airflow forces from causing any issues. I'm going to most likely follow his lead as I'm seeing really high hanger fees here in Dallas and in Florida (retirement destination), so towing home is going to be a requirement. I hope I have enough land to have a pretty good size shop set up to have the wings fully unfolded if needed. Plus hey if it's big enough, do you need a south east distributor? Hahahaha!

Thanks for taking the time to post some pictures. I know you're super busy, but even the busiest of people have to take a break from time to time to keep their sanity - happy to have you here.

Thanks,
Todd

Looking good - definitely keep the pics coming! And I am super envious of your workshop, but you already know that. :D
