Plautus Porter PC-6

I made good headway on the PC-6 today.  I finished sanding the fuselage this morning so it is almost ready for covering.  I did my normal reinforcements as I built it, there are carbon fiber rods tying the landing gear blocks into more of the fuselage structure to spread the landing impacts out.  I also added carbon fiber rods to brace the cabin area, you can see one of the black rods by where the windshield will go.

After the great lunch Vera made and a mail run I used the mower to mulch up the leaves on the lawn.  Just as I finished there was a big gust of wind and it doesn't look like I did a thing!  I went out this evening and started on the wing.  The instructions were wrong, if I had done it the way they said I would have had a heck of a mess.  After studying it for a while I came up with my own order of assembly.  It went pretty fast after that.  It will slow down tomorrow while I figure out a modification to add flaps.  Our ballots were at the post office today, we sat down this evening and voted, tomorrow we will drop them off at the ballot box.
