Thorp Update 1/9

[N2056]

Back in the saddle again! :woot:
One of the reasons this has been such a drawn out project is that I have no problem with going back and re-doing old work as I get better at Gmax.
Here is an illustration of that...the seats. I also have done a lot with materials :typing:

Ted, the whole thing is a duplicate of dad's Thorp. The only area where I'm altering it would be the lighting. Ours is not equipped for night flight so all of that stuff is actually just 'what if'.

Ok, you guys know the pattern by now. The update comes out on Friday night, with a mini update Sunday night...
The other thing I started working on over the weekend is finishing the spinner...by adding the prop cutouts, backing plate, and screws :d

So Robert, are those #2 phillips head screws that I spy there?

Geez man, I love these updates that you post.

Those seats are calling out to me, I think they are saying for me to put my skinny butt into them, or something like that! J

Very nice work, very nice.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
