Thanks for asking.

Progress has been too slow. With the loss of LoneStar, and trying get caught up, and with the resultant delayed orders, this has taken priority. I also lost another week beating a flu like virus.

Regarding the "Sea Vixen":
I have about 75% of the wood areas covered with carbon. and hope to have the wings covered next week.

Unfortunately, I have run out of time for VSC-XX, so I will not be going until next year.

This is a huge disappoinment. But, if I were to rush the airplane now and not detail it the way I want to, I would never be happy with it. I guess I will just have to let some one else  have his name on the Sheeks Award first. Believe me, there will be some beautiful Sheeks airplanes there, by better builders than me.

Most of all, I will miss seeing everyone again. I was at VSC-X and really wanted to get to VSC-XX

I will continue posting pictures as the "Sea Vixen" makes progress. But right now they would be uninteresting photos of carbon fiber.
