    You don't have a duo to work on?

    That's two years now. That's pretty long for a kit

    I am sure that you say that just because you're jaleous to not have come flying with us. You won't be able to fly anything before fInishing this duo. Now leave that iPad and get back working ;-)


    Btw maiden next year at least, so be patient.

    Ok it took time but the shaping portion of that fuselage doesn't seems as easy as we thought!

    Lot of filling sanding, comparing to the master drawing and to the pictures of full scale one, and trust me there is always one to contradict the other!

    But here we come with beautiful pictures from Guy, just before laying up the plug. Still a long journey to go before doing the mold.

    To my taste that look just fantastic, the dream come true!


    Huge, isn't it



    Look also that we will be able to use the plug to manufacture a torpedo!

    Plug is laid up

    Last stage has been to lay up the fuse with 300g/sqm crowfoot fiberglass in order to have a solid surface to get a good surface finish.

    So, many sanding session done by Guy and Jean Louis.

    And here is how it look like after giving a paint coat to see last imperections






    Next step is freeing up the canopy...
