Default SparrowHawk Build Pictures

Scott,

You ask to see some build pictures of the SparrowHawk in construction. I will load a couple of sections so it's not too big of a file.

Mr Coplan, Your pictures are an inspiration. I wish I could work without making a mess.
I think that over time you will find a resperator usefull when sanding fiberglass. Saftey precautions in the shop are much less trouble than healing. Inhailing fiberglass is bad from the begining and it gets worse.
Thank you for sharing the fun. Vance

Vance,

Thanks you for the reminder. I am showing a bad example. I can give you some excusses but I know better. I ran a snowboard company for years and none of the guys on the floor would get by not using a resperator.

Randy

Randy, these pictures were awesome. 8) I thank you for posting them and hope that as you go along you will post more. Also if you have others that fill in the gaps feel free to send them via my email. I'd love to see them all. Gives me a little insight as to what to do when I finally get my kit. Always nice to see the process in a picture then on paper in a diagram. I can't believe the clean space you have to build in. I'm going to have to rely on the second stall of my garage and I have some cleaning to do before I can even get started. How long did it take once you ordered the kit to get delivery? Did you elect to get it with the tail assembly already put together?
Scott
