Every aircraft built has some of the builders DNA in it. Crazy Glue makes a fast band-air around the shop..."no stitches required get back to work" :>)

I was trying real hard not to cut myself on the nose rib flanges while riveting, went to put the rivet gun down and raked my arm along one of the sharp bits on the spar. Owie. But I think my plane will have quite a bit of all three by the time I am done.
