92% done - 80% to go???

Yup, something like that!

Funny you should mention those pictures. This weekend I'm going up to
Seattle (Monroe, actually, out beyond Arlington) to help Brad Hill
build the equivalent tooling to locate the elevator PP tube in his
Glidair motorglider fuselage.

Here's the latest Glidair update at my Web site:

These pages show us making and installing the elevator PP tube guides
in the HP-24 fuselage:

The guides themselves are copies of a standard ACS part - which is a
copy of a standard Rolladen-Schneider part. They're about $10 ea from
ACS. They have an ID of 5/8", which makes for a reasonable light-duty
PP tube in .035" wall 6061-T6.

Thanks, and best regards to all!
