Needed some inspiration, so I downloaded a photo of Berkut 13! I've seen it up close and it is an inspiration. Now, every time I check my phone I'm reminded that I should be working on the EZ. Thanks to the canard desktop guys.

Also, my girlfriend AImi came over to help me glass the new NG-30's. Ordered hardware tonight so I can bolt things up soon.

Cut glass circles and outside skin for NG-30. 

Then, manufactured NG8's. I botched the first set, but got it right the second time.

Cut and glassed inside of new NG-30's for extended nose.

It's been a real crappy month. I don't have much to show for progress. I've been busy with JanTerm, a mini semester where I focus on one class for January. I learned to play Bridge, which has been a difficult experience. Anyways, I just noticed that my canopy from Todd's is not the correct length, so I have to take it back home to my dremel. Amazingly, the canopy fits in my Golf. Also, I had fits with the urethane railings around the canopy, but that's ok because they would have been incorrect due to the length issue anyway.

Didn't do much today, just taping, taping, and more taping. 

Side Note

Here are a few photos of my dad's Quickie as a side note:

The aileron is temporarily attached and bondo'ed (gosh, I hate that stuff). Holes are drilled for pop rivets, then bondo is popped loose and sanded off. Rivets go in with wet flox. All the tubing for the controls will go in tomorrow.
