Hey Builders,
On January 15, 2006 I started cutting metal. Up till then it has been Planning, Preparing the garage and making tools (forms). This is so much fun I can't keep up with the logs.
I have taken many pictures and hope to put together a better website. If you want to see a little of the start take a look at the Kitlog site of mine.

Thanks for all the encouragement and sharing. I hope to follow your example.

Corvair Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder

Welcome to the metal airplane business. I did find it interesting that you signed off as a Zodiac XL, "Scrap"builder. I have a small pile of "scrap" also, and I built my airplane from
a kit. Hate to imagine how many times some parts would have been made if building from scratch. My hat is off to you guys that can go that route.
Mike Sinclair N701TD If the weather holds as it has around here this winter, should be ready to start the engine, checking systems, and then flight testing in the next couple of
weeks. Wet sanding the cowling today wearing shorts and sandals. I don't ever remember a winter this mild in Kansas. Usually have to go quite a ways farther south to get these
temperatures.

Amen brother! I've ruined bunches of pre-formed parts drilling in the wrong
place, or cutting the wrong angle. I can't imagine how much scrap I'd have
if I was doing it all from scratch.
