So....does this count as a valid status?
I'm sliding down the slippery slope... So far, have preview plans skimmed once..reading in detail now, the little training kit, N number reservation confirmed, a partially cleaned garage...
The "airplane tools" are just a joke...kind of sad I can't actually put together the training kit yet. I'll be working on the garage updates and slowly accumulating tools -- and finishing up some house projects first -- for probably the next 6 months at least. Should be fun in it's own right though. And building some WordPress add-ons for the future website to assist with airplane-building functionality...

Looking good Rick.....
I'm out inthe garage most nights and weekends working on the plane. If you want to come up to The Woodlands, you are more than welcome to use my tools to get started on the practice kit.

Thanks Matt!
Once things get un-crazy from the holidays, I'm actually up that way rather often heading to DWH. (Or flying over in the DA20.)
Much appreciated  And....I was leaning towards the Isham tool kit too, so it would be nice to even just take a look. Really seems like a great deal, plus some nice tools.

No problem at all.. Give me a call 832-969-2138 when you want to come out. Hopefully I should have the wings any day now, so plenty of work to do in the garage coming up.

Baffles finally nearly done!
At long last, the baffles are nearly complete. Just gotta add the air seal! (and the little side clips).

Started thinking about the cowling today. initially I have set the cowl .063" low, with a gap of .250" to the spinner.
I have the Lord J9613-40 mounts and may adjust to allow for 1/8" sag.
Update: Last work day of this year, figured this is a good place to end the year.
Did the Cowling dance for a few hours today
See ya next year

Very happy to get to this stage of the build, however I have a problem, I posted it here:
