She can walk!

Well not really, but the glider can now stand without rocking alarmingly. This makes it far more useful as a Sim, although less useful for helping babies to sleep.



Currently this is only the front half of the frame that takes the passenger load. As you can see from the pictures, it is square section tubing that is glassed into what is probably the most rigid area on the whole fuselage. The photos were taken just after I laid the glass fibre so there is some neatening to do. This is the first stage of the glass work. I will also attack it from other angles. Once finished the tube will be completely surrounded. This needs to be _strong_!



The frame sticking out the bottom is only temporary. Once the trailer is ready, the vertacle will be welded into place. The glider can be lifted off the frame by removing a bolt which is currently hidden underneath the square section in the top photos.



There is no lovely rigid area at the back for the same purpose. I will need to build a strong frame to make the fuse more rigid before mounting on to that. There is very little space in this area, but i will probably make some by cutting away some of the seat pan since that area behind the seat back is wasted space.
