I'm working on dimpling the rudder prior to riveting and got a visit by niece Micaeli. She was here for Shelby's birthday. Happy Birthday Shelby! She helped by dimpling a couple of holes in the lower rudder spar. Thanks! Also got some help dimpling from R who came out to the shop to see what's new.

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.
