It's great to hit that first milestone
Nice going on the VS. You'll probably be working on your wings before you know it. Might want to check out the lead time now if you are running a 'just in time' factory

Is that a Boulevard Pale in a Garmin glass under your right pit in the background?

Wow! Good eye Lee!
My office mate got me hooked on this local brewery called Free State. Now that Fall is here, I'm really liking their Octoberfest.
I'm too cheap to buy nice glasses because my kids are always finding ways to break them, so pretty much the only ones we have are the free-bees I get from Garmin events and QuikTrip gas station cups...
So there you go, one Garmin glass full of icy cold Octoberfest!

Be Careful
Congratulations on completing your stab. Make sure you put the stab down before you do your woo hoo-ing. Don't ask me how I know.

That's great news, keep pounding those rivet's, pretty soon you will have all the parts that make up an airplane.
Thanks

Wooo Hoooo!!! I share your happiness. I've got that part done on ours, as well as the horizontal stabilizer and most of the rudder. I'm working on the elevator now.
You need to test fly it like I did. It just seemed undepowered for some reason, I couldn't even get this bird into ground effect!

It's the chrome seats! Everybody knows that chromed seats are just too heavy

Congratulations on the finished VS, Joe! I'll never forget how excited I was to get that part finished. I like your pegboard, too! Keep on poundin' rivets!

Horizontal Stab Complete!
Finished the horizontal stab tonight! Is it too early to start making airplane noises?
