Nick Ziroli A1 Skyraider
The following pictures are of a Ziroli A-1 Skyraider built for a customer in Texas. This aircraft was built from a kit cut by The Aeroplane Works of NJ. The quality of the material and the cutting was outstanding and I would definetely recommend them if you are looking for a cutter. Unfortunetely, I was between digital cameras during the beginning of this project so there isn’t much documentation of the wing construction. If you have any questions or comments concerning the construction of the Ziroli Skyraider please feel free to email me.
