Default Some future RV builders

Well we had visitors tonight at our shop. Luke has been in 4-H all through school and tonight was his last 4-H meeting as he heads to college soon. He offered to do a presentation on the airplane and the kids (and adults) all loved it. Here are a couple of photos of him showing them the wings and then how a cleco works. Lot of questions and interest. I think they all had fun.






And yes, that is the second fuel tank settingthere ready to rivet together. We are going to hit it tomorrow evening if all goes according to plan.

It was a real treat for Luke and I to have them in. The kids were great and asked good questions. They all left knowing a lot more about this hobby than they knew when they came in. Several of them expressed interest in coming back again so I might have to have them back again to see progress even though Luke will no longer be a member of 4H.
