Keep going and let us know.

Hi, I am starting end August ,and hope to follow your work. Good luck!
I will be interested in the best sources of tools - a LOT of clamps seem necessary, etc.
Grateful for any advice.

Alors, le progres du kangaroo: I have spent about 200h so far, mainly assembling the elevator & flaperons, cleaning & painting of the steel parts, cleaning and anodising the aluminium parts (merci pour l'idee, Vincent), trial-installed all the flight controls under the seat, completed the seat and seat belt bottom fixtures and trial-installed the gear. Due to the wet weather (very unusual at this time), I have been unable to finish the elevator and flaperons. I have all the engine instruments (MGL Xtreme EFIS with RDAC and compass module, AEM air/fuel ratio meter), the radio (MGL V6) and I'm about to order the flight instruments (ASI, ALT, Bubble, vertical card compass) to start on the instrument panel for these rainy days.
Cheers, Thomas
