is it to far "outta" whack to continue but go with the original viper style??

Heck no. The original Viper fuselage is a completely different shape. No, I'm going to stick to the plan. Things go wrong, we learn, we move on.

Work on the sidearm. Just about to chop it up to make it compliant with state law.

While I've been waiting for steel, plywood and instruments for the Colonial MkII Viper build, I got busy making the helmet to suit.

Here's a shot of today's work on the cockpit. View from front to rear firewall.

LOTS of space inside this thing!
The central spar is not yet aligned, but once I've screwed all the formers down, it will be aligned with the module in front, then removed.

 

[joberg]

Yep, lots of room

 

[sandbagger]

Some work on the cockpit, welding up a solid frame.
