I am currently working with a local vendor to pull canopies.  I should know shortly if everything will be a go.  If so, I am hopeful that I will have canopies in roughly 4-6 weeks.

I am also waiting on some fiberglass cloth to arrive so that I can start working on fiberglass parts.

Once I have items available, I will add them to the website and make an announcement here.

Thanks everyone for your patience while I ramp things up.

Great news Bob. When you have the HE-219 canopy available I will probably order the plans, acc's, canopy. Do you offer the plans for the landing gear? I can make my own gear with my lathe, milling machine.
       Glad that your offering these designs.

                              Best Regards, Rex

Rex,

Thank you for your interest.  For the 219 I do not have drawings available for the gear.  I will have more info on the gear for the plans soon.  

Regards,
Bob

I have been working on my process for creating cowls.  I have a method down now and will start molding them to get some inventory.  

Here are some pics of the lower cowl of the Firefly to show the results.  These images are straight out of the mold after vacuum bagging with just a bit of trimming done.

Still working with the former to get canopies pulled.  I found that my vacuum former is too small for the canopies.  I opted to find someone to pull some while I went about building a larger one.

I have also been working on cowls in between all of the holiday activities.  Here is a full Fairey Firefly cowl.  I am planning on making some more cowls over the next couple of days.

Here is the cowl
