Fokker D.VII:

The project goes ahead a little bit more slowly than we have expected. We are still busy with the preparation and construction of special tools to smoothen the production run of both fuselages and the other surfaces.

Actually I do not have to complain here. Our aim was to get the special jig with all its parts finished by the end of this month and we only are a little bit behind it.

We have in the meantime sent out inquiries for about 800 meters of steel tubings in the various diameters needed. This amount covers enough for two aircraft + safety + one more aircraft. We are sorting out offers at present as well.

In the meantime I am teaching Woofy to weld oxyacetylene.

Just ignore the missing welding helmet!!!!! *

And I keep on working on the jig.

Enjoy!
