I thought I'd put up an in-progress build thread, not of mine, but my spouse Leeann. She's building her 6th aircraft, after doing a 2 meter glider, an Eagle 2, a small Cub, a 1/4 scale Cub, and a small Pitts. She's been working on the Cessna for a while, and figured it was time to show that it's not only guys in the hobby. She's going all out on this, full cockpit kit, detailed aftermarket panel, nav lights, strobe, landing lights. We replaced a lot of the kit items with the ARF items, such as the main gear, nose gear, wheel pants, wing struts and glass cowl. She's glassing the entire aircraft, with Z-Poxy and .5 oz cloth. It's also getting a Horton STOL kit. I'll post some photos tomorrow, she's at the glassing stage right now, and has 1/2 the wing glassed, rudder and elevators, and one aileron. She's going to be finishing the glasswork on the wing next day or two, then the fuse, vertical and horizontal stab. Not sure on her choice of paint scheme yet, but she's just bought a really nice 2 stage airbrush, and is practicing with that prior to laying on paint.
