  I can't turn a Falco over inside my garage, so it gets to move outside to the driveway for pictures, a lazy half-roll, then back into the garage for work on the bottom skins. They are complete now, too, so I'm planning to start the wing when we get back from vacation in August.  

  Skinning the right wheel well. I found this to be one of the most difficult jobs on the project so far. I spent a lot of time coaxing the upper and lower rings into position so that they formed a cylindrical frame for the plywood skin.  

 

Wheel wells are skinned, flap torque tube and drive motor installed, most wing cabling routed, wing walk bracing complete.

 

 

Right hand landing gear installed. Also note the transponder antenna.

 

 

Both main landing gear installed and operational.
