John, this is great information. Sorry that you lost your best friend. I didn’t realize how far back this design goes (in time).

John, I just happened to be machining some bushings for a thorp T-18 today. I guess it’s a small world. Richard Bentley said that you sold him your thorp and he’s really in love with it! He said to tell you hi.

Thanks Ben! I just talked to Richard also when he called me today. I understand he lives close to you, and he was very complementary of you and your craftsmanship. It is a small world. Your Kitfox looks very good… it’s gonna’ be a great one! I love your shop too!

I took delivery of the wing kit today. Very impressed with the quick build work quality. Now I just need some cooler weather so I can get back at it!

You will love working on the wings. They are a pleasure to finish up.

Took a break from real work to machine a little indicator plate to use with the earth x battery fault wire.

I’ve been slowly working on the wings. Don’t have as much free time as I had earlier in the year due to work. But it’s nice to slow down on the airplane for a little while.

Took advantage of the warm weather today to work on the bubble doors. I just need to hinge them and install the gas struts. Then back to more wiring and wing work.

Doors look real nice.

Thank you Harlan. You must be getting excited about starting that engine. I know harvest got in the way but you’ll be flying very soon! I can’t wait to see your first flight.
