Can a man fly AND love Jesus? You’d better believe it!

Airplane progress

A little progress report on my airplane.  I’ve mostly got the fuselage done.  I need to add oil to the engine, run a few wires for the nav lights and strobes, and then get my cowling squared away and then that’s about all I can do on it.  I estimate about a good day’s worth of work and it will be time to run her out to the airport.  I may go ahead and spray a clear coat on the fabric before I take it to the airport.  That will add a couple of extra days.

Then I start on the wings.  Once they are done, it’s final assembly time.

I’ll post some pictures later.

Updates…

Yes, I know I don’t update this blog very often any more.  The crush of online things to update has finally started to overtake me.  There’s this blog, there’s my aircraft construction log, there are two online forums dedicated to aircraft construction that I belong to that want updates, there’s my flight logbook, there is EAA Chapter 90 whose website I run, there’s FaceBook, there’s email for church…  and then there is what I do at work.  And then there’s family.  Sqeeze in some airplane building time.  Maybe even some flying time.

It all adds up to a negative allotment of time.  I would actually have to fold time inside out to actually be able to accomplish everything I need to get done in a day.
