Yes.  The process will be long and *drawn out*....ahem. :)

I finished the sheet layouts last night.  Right now we're at five 36x84 
sheets.  I scrubbed all but a few of the hole dimensions from the plots - 
the tiny lettering just takes too long.

I've got the next two weeks off, so we'll see if I can make my 
self-imposed deadline of the Dec 31 to get this all wrapped up.

I've dropped the "jet" option for now - I don't have time to build a 
prototype of it to check the fit & finish of the wider components.

There are a total of 30 different part shapes on the plans, some of which 
are for the optional windscreen/canopy version.

I may make a couple of tiny design changes on the windscreen and canopy 
design, but the cockpit is "feature complete" as of this moment.  Neat, 
eh? :)
