What are you going to do in '08?
What are you going to do in '08?
New year, new challenges ahead...what are you planning this year?
I've come to realize that my airplane will be done when it's done, no sooner. I have no plans to finish the 7 with any limiting timeline any longer. But, for 2008, my PLANS are to get the canopy cut over the summer, and start wiring at some point this year. Those two things (especially wiring) are daunting tasks in my mind.

I'm going to mirror Spike here....
I need to finish IFR and finish my wings, and I think I'd like to have my canoe flipped by the end of the year as well. Fuse kit will be delivered week of 2/11.

My long term goal is to have the empennage, wings and fuselage (all standard build and pay as I go) completed by 28 Dec 2010, which is also the date I retire. At that point, I will have the funds available to purchase the engine and panel, and will able to work full time to complete the project.
So for 2008, I plan to complete the empennage and save enough money to buy the wings.

My goal is to complete the Canopy install and wiring. If all goes as planned, probably even purchase my ECI Kit engine and build up.

my plans
I plan on finishing the fuselage kit (sheet metal) and getting the finishing kit ordered. I think that means I will need to pick an engine

I'm awaiting the remainder of my panel/avionics to arrive from Stark. UPS say's it should arrive beginning of next week.
I've just finished insulating my garage, and all that's left is to get a hook up for the Hot Dawg heater. Then I can get back to plumbing some brake lines, electrical lines, and finish off my panel so I can rivet on the last top forward skin.
I'm hoping to fly in the fall of 08, but it will be done when it's done.
I'll have two sons who love to play baseball, and I'll probably coach both of them in the spring.
