Fuselage Model
Bob and Joe completed the first version of the bulkheads in the fall of 2010.
Note that the spacing between the ribs has not yet been applied. The
next step is to apply the bulkhead spacing and add the skin so we can start the
surface analysis and finialize the ribs.
Airfoil
The specific airfoil has not been settled on, however we are
considering Riblett's 35A415 The main wing
solid model is nearly complete.
Engine
The planned engine choices are Rotec R2800 and R3600 engines.
Landing Gear
The landing gear solid model is 90% complete. We are just waiting on
signing contracts with the Rim & Break manufacturer so we can add their drawings
to the assembly.
Below is a set of gear for a different aircraft but ver similar to the gear
designed for this aircraft.

Facility News
UPDATE: The est. costs on a new building were far too out of my reach and I'm not willing to borrow $300,000.
So we will be reconsidering renting again if we can find something reasonable.

Into storage we go!
It was getting clear to us the current facility was getting too small and our lease was at an end.
So we moved into a storage facility until we could build or find a larger place to rent.
