Zero Progress

The title of this post says it all.  Zero progress on my CX4 project this weekend.  The weather was just too nice to be in the shop.  Enjoyed a wonderful weekend including a trip to the Flying Circus in Bealton,  Va.  They have a weekly airshow there featuring a collection of beautiful airplanes.  Mostly Stearmans with a Waco or two.  You can get a Stearman ride for $70 including an aerobatic ride for $110.  Truly worth it.  Especially if you have never experienced an open cockpit biplane.  The first time I took a ride was when I realized if I had the fiscal capability that open cockpit biplane flying is my calling in life.  The Flying Circus puts on an airshow each Sunday during May - October.  

Perhaps the title of this post is a bit of a lie.  I did do some "work" on the CX4 project.  I stopped at a Hobby Lobby store and picked up some transfer paper.  I mentioned this concept in an earlier post.  I'm going to try transferring my tracing paper rib and other parts shapes to wood for forms utilizing a method that my wife recommended.  It's the same process she has used for tracing a dress pattern to fabric.  Should work.  Only cost a couple of bucks for the materials.  And we can see if it works.
