| Planking applied to the Stbd. side of the float and the high spots sanded off with a fairing board. Much work to do yet. |

| I couldn't wait to see if it fit: it does! Now to draw the RH well, install some hardwood for the L/G attachment poinits and start planking the main float. |

| Holy Crap !!! Success on the first draw. I probably used up all my luck the first week of the New Year. |

| ...and then I had to make a right-hand (and left-hand) master of the wheel well. These are going to be some complicated deep draws for the vac-form. Plan on using .030 styrene. |

| I have a plan that first required me to make a vac0form box about 7 inches square. |

| The reason that I haven't been posting posting any build pictures, other that Life getting in the way, is that I have been trying to decide how to duplicate the wheel wells on the Leoning. |
