MIA. What is Sam doing on his Dix?Posted by: samiii 
My Mini News TopicsI guess some of you might be wondering what I have been doing o­n the Dix Didi Mini for the last two months.

Not as much as I wanted, but the new startup business, www.thirdcoastcomposites.com has really absorbed more time than I thought. I have set up the CNC router, cut and shipped two Paper Jet 14's to the opposite coasts and am cutting a Didi Mini to ship to Quebec City.

In between I have been working o­n the keel assembly. Got the keel pin off to the machinists and back.



This is a shot with all the interior aluminum webbing in place.

I will need to take it to the welders next to weld the keel pin / webbing joints.

I also got the keel pin bearing holders and bearings machined.



Click o­n read more.

This is what the bearing holder will look like o­nce welded and sitting in the bottom of the keel box.



So off to the welder o­n Monday, January 7th.

No pictures, but some work has been done o­n the foils. Two or three coats of fairing filler and sanding.....

Check the Photo Gallery for more photos.
