(no title)
One year ago today I received the second empennage box and inventoried it. That was the first official hours I logged on the project. In the meantime, I’ve built the empennage, wings, and started on the fuselage. Not bad. I’ve learned a lot along the way.
I still occasionally wonder if I’ve gone crazy. Building an airplane?!? It definitely sounds crazy. It has been a fun project so far. Among the projects I’ve done in my life, mostly house stuff like re-wiring or re-plumbing an old house, I’d have to say that this has been the most fun and rewarding. And I’m not even flying it yet! I’m looking forward to having it done some day, and having a great plane that I can fly and know inside and out.
One year down, and I hope only two more to go. I’m about 600 hours into the project. I’m guessing the total hours will be around 1800. Hopefully that means I’m about 1/3 of the way there.
