I remember the day I first brought parts into the garage :-) We share your excitement ... yay!!

I'm sure we'll share many more build stories and photos over the coming years!

Cheers, Stu

Still getting the workshop in shape. I built the mezzanine over a period of about a week and the shed now has lighting and power - thank goodness. I was getting really tired of running an extension cord in there to do any work. Here's a couple of pics of the mezzanine.


And finally I have completed the inventory on the empennage kit.

That shed looks tall enough to build a Jumbo. A -7 should be finished in no time.

[Warbo]

Would love to see it finished in no time but it seems at the moment all my efforts are focussed on getting the shed kitted out just the way I want it. It seems to be a very long road to actually getting started on the build. Don't think I'll try squeezing a jumbo in there though.

Nice Factory!!

That mezzanine is smart, you will need that to store finished parts. And when you get to the FWF, the canopy, cowling etc you will need the storage AND floor space.

When you hang finished parts, be sure to cover them with some water proof covering. I my basement it is amazing how water drops will form and drip on parts and over time that becomes an issue. I learned this the soft way. Effect, but no damage.

Completed the flooring for the workshop .. don't try this when the weather is cold or your workshop is not heated - tiles snap together really easily when they are warm .. found this out the hard way

Gidday Ian?.my mate Warbo is David?.Moree variety. Are you related?

Have fun building the -7

Bob Redman is a lot closer to you than me?so I vote he goes to help you build

[Warbo]

Don't think I'm related to the Moree Warbo David. And I'm voting with you for Bob to help with the build. He gets free board and beer when he comes.

Enjoy the build! Saw Bob's RV last year in Maitland and it really helped with the motivation. Just finished gluing the tip up canopy and survived the big cut with no cracks so far. seemed like yesterday the Emp kit arrived. Sometimes the hardest thing is to get started. After that it just gets a life of its own!
VAF rocks! Sooooo helpful.
