This is the second home built we have made, the first was great. After flying the 757-200 for several years, these small planes have restored the fun of flying. As an old Army 1SG turned aviator the CW has also restored the fun of wood working. Thanks for the tips and encouragement. We finished all the metal work, courtesy of my partner, and are ready to build the wings. More pics as we finish more. I will take some pics of the metal work finished and attach them sometime this next week.
