I began this project in March 2001. Building an airplane sounded like an exciting challenge that gave me a fast airplane at the end. These planes typically cruise at more than 180 mph.

I didn't know anything about riveting when I started, but it is easy to learn. In a couple years I'll get to test my abilities when I fly this plane for the first time.

This plane is being built from a kit by Van's Aircraft.

It's great to finally fly this plane!!

My Panel.

The finished plane.... except for paint.

It all starts very innocently with two boxes of parts for the empennage--the tail of the plane.

Everybody needs a loyal assistant. I've got two!
