Had a visit from Chris Hofman - a potential
builder from Greenwood Village (Denver suburb). He has ordered the
info pack and wanted to see a project in progress. I suspect if he
gets spousal approval he may order plans soon.
Cut the spar cap troughs in the center and outer cores. I then
realized I used the wrong jigs on the inboard cores and also forgot
to cut off the outboard cores before cutting the troughs.
