Wing Stand On Its Feet

About two hours spent, with DV.  And Audrey.  Some of that two hours was spent setting up the makeshift heater: a heat gun clamped to a light stand.  12/30/2011.

Waiex Christmas

Christmas gift to myself: about 20 minutes of project planning on the Waiex.  Sonex provides only hard copies of the drawings, so to really get organized I am spending time going through the drawings and distilling them into a digital bill of materials (BOM), which will help me efficiently plan out processing and assembly of the airframe kit parts.

Facing Reality

Not much has been happening on either airplane, but especially the Sonex (actually a Waiex). Part of it is the required trip to the hangar, which although pretty convenient is still proving a barrier with numerous small children in the mix.
So to shift the balance, I have set up a satellite workshop in the garage. This little offshoot of the My New Invention Heavy Industries leviathan will be dedicated solely to piece part work on the Waiex on days when I don't make it to the hangar.
One issue though: I still need to run this whole concept by Don, having run off with his drill press and stripped the main facility of key capital equipment that may be needed for the Bearhawk.

Wing Installation Fixture Hardware

Hit the depot for bolts to install the removeable legs. Maybe 20 minutes of procurement time. $17.88.
