The project is moving forward in small steps. The overhaul of the two rear fuselage frames from which the fin, tailplanes and tail strut all hang has been completed and they are now slaved back in to the rear fuselage.

A brief update and a couple of photos can be found here.........

Hope it's of some interest, and if anyone is interested in getting involved we're always pleased to hear.

Movin' right along and looks good! Every faastener installed is one less to do and the progress you've made shows-
great looking Siberian Husky! Had a female years ago and that was one SMART dog! She taught herself to climb ladders on playground slides and cyclone fences to get @ squirrels, they are about the only dog that can eat fish and not die, mine ate a 10 lb Valentines heart of chocolate while nursing pups, chocolate is deadly for dogs, she and the pups only had the runs for a few days. She never barked, but would 'talk' her head off and growled once at a stranger she didn't like, also shed a poodles worth every day!

Some time I'll get around to posting some decent photos of the work on the Fiat, not just cr@py phone pictures. Plenty of progress being made, but I'd rather not dwell too long on what still remains to be done.

Yeah, the pup is as daft as a muppet, yet amazingly clever. A real character she's totally laid back and a big softie. Not sure our cat is quite so impressed with her though! Just need to teach her how to hold a bucking bar and we'll be laughing.

It will soon dawn on you that the dog really IS smarter than you are, the only critters they want to fight with is another Husky, they'll lay on the kids to protect them from harm, and it's up to the cat as the dog is just glad for the company, mine used to pick up our cats freshly hatched kittens and carry them around in her mouth and the cat was fine with that she understood. Find someplace you can take her to really run about once a week as that's what they were bred to do. She'll be a long time, loyal member of the family. You can't brush her enough!!!!!!
