You'll have to get that furniture out of there to start your wings.

Good idea Tony, plane (finished) parts just look better in the house. Girlfriend says it looks like a plane crash, I say SHUSH THAT!

Wow, where did the last four years go, just a little flash back to the beginning. Finish kit is done and waiting for finances for the engine. Might be a couple years of looking at the plane in the garage before it gets any closer to flying, kinda depressing but O well, I have airplane wings in the living room, and a fuse in the garage..........

That looks great, but it's going to take a good engine to get over that fence and trees ;')

The hardest part for me was spending the money to get to the finish line. Now that I'm flying, let me just say IT IS ALL WORTH IT!
