Spent some time getting setup to make more progress this last week. I'll get back at it after next Monday.

Chad, those look like some sort of lumber stands to me.

Jim, you plan on flying this summer or WHAT!?!

Way to go!

Nice. Once you get those wings in place you are going to get a lot more questions about when will it fly, it seems non-builders have no idea just how much more work there is to go after it looks like an airplane.

OK , here's link for Chad and anyone else interested . http://www.dynahorse.com/index.htm . You could make something that would work similar to them easily enough from regular style saw horses built from 2X4's & 6's. To answer the other question; Yes, Summer would be OK for a first flight but I'm actually hoping for April. I'll at least have it in it's own hanger and out of my shop by then. I screwed around so much this last Summer that I missed my fall of 06 dead line.
