    1.SHOCK & DENIAL – When you realize you’ve made a mistake on your airplane, you will react with numb disbelief. You may even deny you’ve screwed up and try to drive on. No, you screwed it up. It’s better to accept it now. 2.PAIN & GUILT – Once you’ve accepted you screwed up, shock and denial...

    Leveling the Build Table

    The table is 40" wide x 96" long. I have the table top dead flat, but it's off level by 0.6* along the length and 0.5* along the width. Will this be a problem or should I shim the legs? Thanks

    Room Temperature for Welding

    I've been reading about gas welding and watching videos and everything I see says the ambient room temperature for welding must be 70F minimum with no drafts.

    How about a Pober Junior Ace?

    I'm thinking about building the Pober Junior Ace. I like the fact that it's 2 seat, side-by-side, open cockpit, and tube and fabric. I'm 6'-2" and my son is 6'-6". I would probably use it to fly my grand kids and give Young Eagle rides. Does anyone have any knowledge of the plane to know how...
