    What are you Building?

    I'll get this started with my current project that I call a "Pirate Cub". Basically a scratch built super cub clone with doors on both sides.

    Agreed Adam...it looks fantastic! Like I posted on the Pirate Cub FB page, it really gets my juices flowing for the Tailwind build!

    To answer the thread topic...built an RV-7, have a Thatcher CX-4 project (that is now for sale), and I am starting a W-10 Tailwind.







    No pic of the Tailwind project yet...after AirVenture!

    Goggles Volksplane VP-II

    Greetings Charlie,

    In January I started working on a Volksplane VP-II but as often happens, the day job has been taking up too much time. Next month I am starting AMT school so that will reduce time available as well. I am hopeful that I will be able to use the VP for some project time after class though.
    Blue skies and tailwinds,

    My Sonex was started in December 2003 and is right on schedule for completion in 2047.

    Oh man... I got that beat. "Started" mine in 1998, and figure I'll get it done a week after you-know-where freezes over. Not 'cause there's anything wrong with the design, mind you. I'm just professionally lazy. (Tell 'em Kerry.)

    I'm hoping to find a Continental C-90.

    BTW, I've started a facebook page for my project with more photos.
