It's Just One Damn Step After Another

Today the actual first step in building the Aircam began with drilling the first hole


So far so good.  By tge end of the day all outer skin holes had been drilled to #40 size.  I ran out of Clecos by then.


There were probably 500-600 holes and they all have to be drilled to their final size later!

The kit was with pre drilled skins that have been assembled in a jig at the factory.  Then it is temporarily riveted enough to retain its alignment.  It is then separated into two halves for shipping

This is the front half with the seats layed in place for scale.


This is the back section.  It comprises the cargo area to the tail cone.


Another view of the tail.


Bleriot is still not sure about the whole deal


Well, it's been a great way to start the New Year.
