Title: Paul's Cabin Eagle build

Greetings,
I guess this should be a "sub-board" how is that done?
Thanks...Paul

I actually started this build nearly two years ago. At this point I have pretty much completed both wings. Just have to finish up the aileron on the right wing.
This has taken longer than expected as I had to move everything from Missouri to Mississippi and get set up again.

I am not going to detail everything on this forum, I already have a log at http://www.mykitlog.com/pshadwick (http://www.mykitlog.com/pshadwick).
I will try and document things that I am doing different.

For a start while I am building a Cabin Eagle I am currently working from Double Eagle plans. I also have Leonards videos of the prototype cabin eagle.
I have built the Ailerons mostly using the double eagle plans but have incorporated blocking to allow an aileron torque tube to be installed, and I have built the aileron pockets as shown in the Cabin Eagle videos.

The wings are complete (less the Aileron torque tubes) and the steel for the fuselage and torque tubes has arrived.
Once I get the torque tubes installed I'll start laying out the fuselage :emoji_u1f60a:

Paul, you will probably finnish your plane before I get mine done at the rate you are going! I'm still trying to get my slab ready to pore for my shop. This heat and humidity is hard on an old man trying to dig in the dirt.:emoji_u1f624:  How are you coming on your house?
