Wings....

OK, so we´re back back. Now the fuselage has been put aside to await the finishing of the wing section.

The wing was originally mounted on the fuselage, but had to be taken off when the ac was transported from USA to Norway. It is now mounted in a frame, vertically, leading edge down, and is being worked on in preparation to fitting it to the fuselage.

Here our team member Roman Marshalkin is removing the temporary paint job applied some 8 years ago, to reveal the skin ready to prime and paint. A tedious, boring job, that needs to be done perfectly.

The paint for the aircraft has been ordered from Germany, and has cleared customs, so we are awaiting the arrival of the paint.
