Finished the Vertical Stabilizer
I finished the Vertical Stabilizer today. Another small milestone. There are 4 basic parts to building the empennage. This is the 2nd sub assembly I've completed.

Larry's Airplane
Yes, I'm building an airplane in my garage. It's a 2 seat side-by-side, 200+ mph, all metal aircraft capable of 6g aerobatics with a range of about 900 miles on one tank of gas getting 25 mpg. It's powered by a traditional 180hp Lycoming just like a Cessna 172. There are over 8000 like mine completed AND flying. This is where I'll document the build for friends and family to see. This isn't meant to be a construction how-to, just a little show-and-tell.
Oh, and to answer the question, "when will it fly?" I'm planning my first flight on Thursday. I'm not saying which week, or which month, or even which year, just Thursday.
