Today, after many years of work the airplane is resting on its landing gear and the engine is mounted. I'm beginning to see the end of the build phase and looking forward to the testing/flying phase.

Been thinking this is a milestone, but Anne might see it as a millstone. Either way it sure feels good... Very Happy

Well done, Ron.

On the gear is indeed one of the big milestones.

Well done Ron! I am so jealous. I'm working on the center section mods and after that will start putting the fuselage together...again. Hopefully I'll see mine on it's gear before the summer is out.

Hi Sabrina,

I'll bet your "Legal Team" was so proud of you they didn't even say bad
words every time they had to scrape ice and snow from their cars . . .

Paul
Mating carry through to wings . . . again. Probably finishing upgrade
in a few weeks (after a brief halt for Sun n Fun).

Congrats Ron! It is an amazing feeling...

How long until the first engine start up?

(I also know how your family feels... I had half the garage up until then, once it was off the bench and on its own legs, the family car was moved out onto the street!)

The engine ran last year at CC17. It was actually assembled and ran there. Now that it has its own engine stand, the neighbors will hear it soon.

Now that's not gonna happen here, the night belongs to the Saturn Sky or what ever small car Anne is driving. Notice I do have a say about the size of her car. Hope to have the airplane in the air this year and in a hangar as the weather gets better here in Michigan. Pretty much just plumbing and electrical left to do, and a little more metal fabrication.
