BREMERTON — It was a continuous process to draw, cut, measure, drill holes and assemble pieces of aluminum.Annika Pexton felt a sense of relief — and accomplishment — when she finished making her first clip on her own two months ago, she said. The aft clip is now positioned at the fuselage tail of the first electric airplane built in Kitsap County.The 14-year-old Central Kitsap High School student is one of the students and adults who have been building a two-seat electric-powered all-aluminum motor glider at the Bremerton National Airport for months under the guidance of Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) members.
