So, I haven't ever built an airplane (starting a plans Bearhawk in the next few months), nor have I designed an airplane before. After the Bearhawk, I'm probably going to build a small bipe for my wife (thinking one of the Fisher products). After that, I want to build one of my own design.

I don't have a lot of time right now to explain things at the moment, I'll get to it tomorrow during my lunch break. I'm starting this thread because a) I want to document the process so when I get the plane built 15 years from now I can read back and enjoy it (and others can too) and b) the group here is one of the nicest and knowledgeable online communities I've come across, and I know I'm going to need help.

So, for now, that's about it. I'll post as I'm able and will get things defined hopefully tomorrow (though work is a bit crazy right now, we'll see).
