A sneak preview of my winter project

.. Always interesting to have a look around in other workshops, and although this is a full size shop, it is interesting to note how many techniques we share. Lite aircraft also use iron on covering, pull pull setup for rudder is done the same way… hey, I could use a workshop like that.

Remember the ‘good old’ days?
You spent all winter building a new plane, and by spring you hoped it survived the first few flights.

… I decided on a Göppingen GÖ4 glider from the late thirties, not exactly sleek and certainly not with a minimal fuselage. It was a trainer glider with the pilots sitting side by side, so the fuselage is quite roomy. In short it is so ugly that you can only love it.
