It didn't take long before the new "plane" was being literally trucked into the hanger. Greg's dream has been to build his own plane and the project has begun. This will be the only post on my blog about the project as we have decided to dedicate a separate blog to chronicle this adventure. Once we have the blog established, I'll add the link!
This is the tail section - yep, in one box!!!! We are buying the kit from a local manuafacturer an hour away from us so we are able to save on those shipping costs! Luckily we took a tarp with us just in case of rain and that is did - the rain came down hard (can you tell we are used to NW weather?!??)
Rusty has to check it all out! New smells, ya know!
The first part! All of the metal is wrapped in blue plastic; this has to be removed soon but first we have to inventory it all! (Except for the 12,500 rivets!!!)
The tail all laid out on the worktop. We are excited!
This is what it will look like (except ours won't be painted for a long while! or attached to the fuselage!). Pretty cool!
