The Mission:

I am building an airplane. I really can't tell you how weird it sounds to me to hear those words in my head as I type. I am keeping this blog as an adjunct to my written log, which is required to comply with FAA requirements for Experimental Aircraft construction. My son Doug is my partner in this project. There are two goals: to build the best, safest, and yes, COOLEST, airplane we can, and to allow Doug to acquire some truly awesome experiences, not to mention building skills. Thanks for viewing.



How to use this blog

The most current post is displayed on this opening page. To access the older posts, click on the "Blog Archive" on the right hand side. The drop down menu is arranged by the month and lists the posts, by title and by date posted, in reverse chronological order.

I will arrange the hypertext links to other websites I find interesting better some day, but they are at the bottom.

If you navigate to my first post, there is a link to my luthiery pages. I miss working with wood. Aluminum is nice, but it's boring. Give me a highly figured maple any day!

More work on the hangar

It's been a busy few weeks for me, at work and work related trips, etc.  Doug and my goal of late has been to complete the move to the hangar and get things set up so further work will be un-interrupted and efficient.  Plus, it's pretty darn fun having a hangar.  Finally, enough space!

The "east wing".  Note provision to hang the engine and compress the mounting bushings

View of the central hangar.  The OSB box contains the Aerosport IO-360 (still in plastic!)

The "west wing"

And the fuselage.

We "recycled" one of the packing crates into a work table

This work bench has been my main construction area.  Moving it to the hangar was essential.
