A construction log for Sonex #1005
Last
update: 05/05/2008 -
I've shifted gears now that I've analyzed my storage situation.
I'm going to knock out the wings before the fuselage because
they'll be much easier to store while I'm working on the fuse.
Note: this is a work in progress - please feel free to email
comments, questions, corrections, etc.
01-18-2008 UPDATE - the lameness continues... We moved into the new
house September 30th 2007 - and I've been painting & fixing
since
then. I'm finally getting to a point where I will soon have
time
to work on the plane. If I just didn't have a job to get in
the
way I'd have a lot more time to work on my own projects :)
09-13-2007 UPDATE - wow - last update 6-15-07... ok... I'm lame... I
been cheating on my Sonex - with a HOUSE... Katie & I have gone
from renters to homeowners - meaning I've spent very little time w/the
Sonex. It is very lonely in the garage. After
finishing
flight training we spent most weekends (and evenings) house hunting -
that took most of my Sonex time. Finally we've found one that
meets our requiremens (and our budget). We've been lucky
enough
to have a month overlap between the apartment and house so I've been
spending all my free time cleaning/painting/repairing. Once
we
move I've promised myself I will spend at least 2 evenings a week
working on the plane. I'm going to get this project finished
(eventually). Now if I can just figure out how to move all of
this mess...
06-05-2007 UPDATE - I
passed my PPL
checkride this afternoon!!! It was windy and bumpy in
Huntsville,
AL (28009G16KT - RW36) but I sufficently pleased the DE and I now have
my temp cert in hand. Work can now resume full speed on the
Sonex
- expect updates soon!
