Outstanding Mike! It is like Christmas when those tools show up!

Slats, since we're starting at basically the same time, dare I challenge you to a race to first flight?

FYI - "conventional gear aircraft" are all tail draggers. Tricycle gear is that new fangled invention, the old stuff is the conventional type.

Aw, I wish...I am halfway through serving a term as a union chairman...Not only that, I am paying cash as I go until engine/avionics...
I am figuring a 4 year build...
I will however be happy to buy the first 2 rounds should we run across each other once finished
Cheers, Bill

I think i'm about the same place as you two, but there's no way I could race. I'm also guessing 4 years to complete. Being younger and more career focused in my life right now, I don't think I'll work more than 10-15 hours a week.
SteelMike, your info says "South Bay", is that like San Jose CA sorta south bay, or some other part of the country?
