Built one of the propeller guards and mounted it into place. You might remember the wing photos showing the portion of the main wing frame that was cut out and bolted onto the side of the hull. Photo below shows the guard under construction.

I have to quit working on the sled until I can raise the funds needed to continue. I should be able to complete the tail and engine some time in March, so check back then to see updated photos. Thanks for visiting the site, if you enjoyed it please tell a friend. If you plan on being on the Island, e-mail me and stop by.
