    I figured I could work from the tail to station E on the drawings, beyond that I will cut and fit the pieces tobe welded in once the weather starts to cooperate. by very carefully lining up the surfaces to keep them square, I welded in the tubes to station E and continued to cut and cope tubes...

I...

    I had to build a big enough surface to build on, I had intended to put legs on the table but for now am just setting them on saw horses. This is kind of a hodge podge of pictures, I built my work table and then the first try of building the leading edge, i was not able to bend the aluminum...

    I wish I had taken pictures of the earlier work on these wings, I built a jig by photocopying the plans and ironing them onto a piece of plywood, comes out reversed but allows you to get an exact copy of the image.

    I was encouraged to start a builders log by someone who is really influencing my build, I have not had the chance to meet him but have taken advantage of the Builders Log that he has put on another site.

    Hello from Nova Scotia

    I realize that this is an old thread, but I have found a couple of skycoupes for sale but no one agrees what the weight limits are nor can I find factory specs.

A regular furnace must be at least 18 inches off of the floor in a garage, but duct work in that size is optional. Ask an HVAC installer what...

    The TIG definitely messes with the AM shop radio, but I haven't heard a complaint from my wife or kids about the TV in the house. I am working in an attatched garage.

    Letter circulating on the SP/LSA Catch-22

    I agree, the Sport Pilot was supposed to get more people interested in flying instead it has turned out to be for pilots who know they are going to loose their license to keep flying. Don't believe me walk into a flight school and ask about sport pilot training. They will try to talk you into...
