    Default Building again

    For some 2020/21 has been a challenge in many ways, for others life just kept moving forward. For my wife and I we were blessed to be extremely busy in both of our business's so I have been away from the build for some time. Starting November 1st I am semi-retired working only 2 days a week but on call as needed, hoping I'm not needed to much. So I am going to post a few photos from this past week or so of my work. Feels good to be back in the shop.

    Congrats on the mostly retired news. More airplane time is always good. Looks very good by the way. 👌

    Semi-retirement: remember that last post about being on call, well today was all day on call. We work with music programs in the school systems and marching band championships are tomorrow, seems 3 schools need extra attention from us today for tomorrows shows. So the wing tips will get painted tomorrow, whats one more day in building a plane.
    I did get some wiring work done this evening.

    It’s looking really good, Jim! BTW, I’ve been retired over 10 years now… I’ve enjoyed every day. I wish the same for you.

    Making that large plywood "table" behind the instrument panel is a neat idea. Gives you lots of room for a really neat layout.
