RV-7A #74351 Canberra
This has been on my bucket list since I was a teenager and now, finally, I have the time and the financial resources to fullfil the dream. And a supportive wife is a big bonus too. Last Christmas she bought me the preview plans, DVDs and the practice toolbox and said something like "How about you get a bloody move on with this!" So I did. But there was one small problem to fix before I could get started - I had nowhere to build an aircraft! It was time to build a shed/workshop/man (van) cave/whatever you may like to call it. It's done now and as I look at it completed I'm kinda thinkin' I'll call it the Taj Mahal! Many thanks to Robyne and the team at Clearspan Builders in Queanbeyan who did a great job. Here's a quick look at the shed build.

That, sir, is not a shed. It is clearly an airplane factory!
Congratulations and best of luck on your build. |
Thanks Lemmingman - I'm still coming to grips with posting pics here - stay tuned:)

And now the best bit
Well the day my shed was completed was the day my empennage kit arrived in Sydney. I picked it up there to save on the freight costs to Canberra.
Who knew an empennage kit would fit in a Hyundai Getz? ![]() And home safe and sound ![]() Now to finish fitting out the shed and get to work:) |
