Sick Day

No progress on the Waiex today due to another virus brought home from 1st grade.

Waiex Days 5-6

Light progress because I am running a low grade fever.

Yesterday I stopped by the hangar and spent about 30 minutes of project management budget getting a bill of materials (BOM) started, so we have a framework to begin tracking all the fabrication tasks.

Today I spent about 0.3 hours setting up a work history log.

Waiex Tail Kit Inventory Complete

Don and I spent 1 hour completing the inventory against the plans bill of material (BOM). We did not measure total lengths of angle and hinge stock, but all types are now "in stock" at MNIHI Aircraft Works.

Waiex Day 2

Didn't want to start without DV, so just migrated the nascent project into the hangar and recreated the on-pallet condition. Will put the wrapper back on so Don can still open his present.
Whole activity took less than an hour all told, of which only 20 minutes was touch time with the boxes. We also dragged out Gober (the compressor) and filled the tires on the station wagon.

Quandary

With the launch of a second aircraft project, it may be time to spin off the MNI Aircraft Works into a separate blog, and return Swamptooth to its original raison d'etre, music.  Hmm.

Waiex - Day 1

Yes, we have been making so much Bearhawk progress that we need a second project just to keep ourselves from overheating. The tail surface kit arrived today. Since it's Don's birthday present, better wait for him to open it. I'll give him 'til tomorrow.
