More Progress

So there isn't much new as far as assembly goes, but lots of new on the parts front. New just today, FOILS! Holy crap Batman. I can hardly believe that I actually got foils, and I didn't even need to spend a fortune to get them. Granted they are not totally finished and will take a bit of work get them ready for the boat, but they look really good and should work great. I was talking to fellow moth home-builder Gui and he had a set of unfinished foils that he didn't need. He's a great guy and ended up selling them to me for just the cost of materials. However, he didn't have a rudder horizontal foil so I needed to find one of those. I send out a message on the US Moth groups page and found a slightly damaged bladerider foil that I was able to purchases very inexpensively. I also purchased some kite tubes to use for some the control rods. As soon as it warms up a bit things should start coming together fairly quickly.
