8.10.09:
Started engine cowl piece. The kit includes the side formers w/ 'jigs' attached for proper alignment. The cap former gets attached, then the remaining 1/16" strips are added. 
 
8.07.09:
Fuselage stringers added.
 
8.06.09:
Began adding cap strips. I'm running the strips front to back so they span the center spar of the stab (and rudder) and hopefully create a more rigid structure.
 
I also finished building the main fuselage frame.
 
8.04.09:
Finished the tail feathers. I'll be adding 1/32 x 1/16 cap strips to top and bottom.

This is the Easy-Built laser cut kit of the Lockheed Orion. It's based on the 24" span plans by Tom Nallen.
