Before running? Just walking.

I'm on a Sands'DR1 project.
I bought the drawings, I look for interesting prices for stuff and I work to have the right skills.
I can now save more monney because I've "graduated" my flying private license.
I will begin with the spars.

I'm really pleased with how this Poll has worked out. When I started it I thought I'd be lucky to get 25 responses... we are up to 47. My guess now is that we'll get 55.

I especially like the written responses that some of you have left. It'd be great to see more of what you are doing or would like to do!

Look at all the talent we have lurking on the website...

Thanks again and keep those poll numbers coming in!

Fe.2b obviously

For a long time wife said it will never, ever happen.
Recently she said I should stay busy after I retire in 12 years. Maybe I could build an airplane!

the Fee of course

Holy nuts, CADdraftsman, your CAD software cost as much as all of the materials for my aircraft!
Are you planning on a production run of SE5 component airframes?!
Suffering from CAD envy,
