I carefully monted the Body over the center wing section and placed the tail sections in place. I then took the outer-wing section from the 70 Series Prototype and laid it in place. As you can see, We really are making good progress.   22-MAR-2008 - Kepford Memorial Replica Project This week we managed start gluing all the ribs into the center spar of the 35% Scale Corsair Cutting the new center wing ribs The new ribs wll include stringer slots that will increase the streght and prevent the wing from flexing and distorting over time and high winds comming off Lake Michigan.  15-MAR-2008 - Ike Kepford Memorial Replica Project Cutting the new Center wing ribs The new ribs wll include stringer slots that will increase the streght and prevent the wing from flexing.	Current Projects MAR-2008 -  Muskegon, Michigan - LST Museum Ike Kepford Memorial Aircraft Project - 75% Corsair Static Display The Muskegon County Commissioners voted down the proposal to rename the local airport to Ike Kepford Field on Feb. 22, 2008.   Our project to supply the memorial dislplay appeared to be canceled when the local LST Museum picked the project up.   Muskegon's native son may have been rejected by the Commissioners but will be remembered by the LST Museum as we will proudly deliver the project to them. The 35% Prototype is estimated to be complete June 22, afew days before the Summer Festival which will be held on June 26, 2008 this year.   Delievery date of the final 75% Scale has not yet been determined. A note from our CEO We remember our heros for what they did for us and the sacrifices they made. We choose to be proud of them and remember them by building monuments and memorials so future generations can learn and remember with us.  We find great joy in bosting that someone so famous grew up in the same town we did. We do not reject those that grew-up and chose to raise their families and have successful careers else where?  We do not reject those soldiers that faught and died on forgien soil and are burried at Arlington and not in our home towns. We know from recorded interviews and personal recolections, that Ike was proud that he was from Muskegon. Ike Kepford was a hero. Ike Kepford was from Muskegon, Michigan. I choose to remember! The Commissioner's choice to not memorialize this Michigan-American Hero is unfortunate.
