The students from two different classes were bussed from their classroom to the Mall site for three hours; one class on Tuesday and the other on Thursday afternoons. Four to ten students from the class would work on the airplane during any one session. We began an evening session on Tuesday nights so that the parents could observe and help in the project. There were usually two or three volunteer EAA members on hand during every session to guide the construction activities.

By June of 1994 the fuselage was ready for covering and the engine was temporarily mounted. There was still much to do in the cockpit and in the engine compartment, but we decided to set the fuselage aside and begin construction of the wings.

The wings were assembled on four work benches that were acquired from the Northrop Corporation. The benches were carefully levelled, and restraining blocks were built to hold the spars in position while the ribs were glued in place.
