ReallyThat's special.
Did they at least give you KY before raping ya
So I was venting to my wife about how crappy these panels actually turned out. She actually said something positive for the first time in a week… she reminded me I’m making these panels with nothing but tin snips, a hammer, a home made bead roller and a 2x4

Staff guys need flight hours too!
There ya go, right there. Crude but effective. You have to start somewhere. I did a lot of fab with a vise and a chunk of railroad track.

I should write my representatives to get them to fund a pilot's lounge with tacos and Tekillya right there at Lemoore

Thanks. I’m just getting a bit depressed over how it’s looking
Lol okay I’m not THAT bad.
I’m always in the dog house
**** Chris it's all covered up no one will see it and it looks good to me.
Your doing more than most guys would even know how to start.
Don't criticize yourself just do the best you can with what you got and enjoy building it.
Never been a have to make everything perfect as much as enjoying it when it's done.
That’s okay… I get to cut the tack welds and redo it
When I designed out the caged enclosure to set the fuel cell in, I forgot to take into account the rubber matting on the sides. I got it for the underneath. But the sides are too tight to let it fit in. Gonna have to bust out two tack welds and move the front piece forward 1/2 inch.

I’m just trying to get it done enough to drive to power tour but the odds that were long to begin with are getting longer.
always next year.
Yeah. Worst case, I’ll have it done this fall. By October hopefully. October makes 10 years….

Or perhaps carrying our close air support pilot to his plane and hoisting him up into cockpit. Three Marines plus pilot trying to navigate the treacherous ladder! Looked like monkeys and a football no doubt. All the while he is explaining once airborne he can rest his head on dash catch some Zs while auto pilot takes care of the rest. Yet another evening/morning gone horribly wrong!
Getting it done by fall gives me all winter to work thru any troubles I may find to tune it for spring 2024.
