This was our final work session before taking some time off for a summer break. We had four Team Members in attendance. We made additional progress on the engine cowl installation, the fuselage wiring harness, and finished a bit of work that remained on the tailcone fairing.
Keep watching our blog...We will post new photos, videos soon and will provide updates on when we plan to start back up.
Day 32 - May 22, 2010
We had another work session with 6 team members present. We were visited by KGW TV news, channel 8, which ran a story on their 5 PM and 5:30 PM news programs. A written version of the KGW story can be viewed at:

It is a very positive story, and we are thankful to them for taking the time to do this and give our program a little local exposure.
We made good progress on the canopy on Saturday. It is now drilled to the frame and the fit looks very good. The cowling installation is also well along and looking good. The vertical stabilizer and rudder got their tip fairings finished, sanded, and installed. The vertical stabilizer is now permanently installed on the fuselage.

Day 31 - May 21, 2010
This week was a little different from our usual schedule. We held a mid week work session on Friday because Dave Salesky from KATU News, Channel 2, came to do a story on the TeenFlight program. The TeenFlight news story is going to air locally on KATU, Channel 2 on Friday, June 11th, most likely during one or all of the evening news programs.
We had six of our team members present and we made great progress on the cowling and canopy installations, and the installation of the tail cone fairing was nearly completed.
