Quick Update
| Thu. 1/3/2008: Happy New Year! Light progress due to a parallel project designing a house/hanger at Sandia Airpark Estates in Edgewood, NM. The house will have a detached 1600 sq. ft. heated hanger, suitable for hours of spacious kit building. We just closed on the construction loan, and ground breaks this coming Saturday! We plan to move there upon completion this coming Summer. Meanwhile, I am still plugging away on the horizontal stabilizer. Stay tuned for more... |
