A Busy Life

I haven't worked on the Cruzer since 8/10/2014, but I thought I would post that life has been very busy trying to get yard finished and work has been very busy and I've had to work a lot of overtime (no extra bucks - I'm on salary).  Haven't worked on it - but I think about it everyday.

I have added some 3 way adapters to garage light and outlets so I can run extension cords to plug in my laptop and drill.  Oh yea, I did sweep out the garage - got to have a clean shop!

Work Everyday - day 7

Sometimes the most important thing that I get accomplished in building my aircraft has nothing to do with building my aircraft - you've got to get the honey-do's done.

Work Everyday - day 4

Finally got my handi clamps and toggle clamps from Aircraft Spruce.  It took about a week.  Smoothed and deburred another rib.

See how shiny and smooth.


Working every day - day 3

Trying to work everyday.  Smoothing parts.  See my construction log.

Working Everyday

Sunday night watched the HomebuiltHELP tail videos. I love the videos.  Very helpful. Finally got some 3M Scotch Brite heavy duty pads to rub down all the edges on parts. Still rubbing them down.  What I've learned is that I was not very well prepared to get started.  Ordered rudder kit and some tools from Zenith but needed MORE...

My Kitlog.com website is up and working.

Great news!  Heard back from Kitlog.com support and discovered that my website wasn't working because I hadn't "uploaded" a construction log.  Uploaded an entry and it is now working. Thank you Kitlog.com.  My Kitlog.com website is Dave's CH750 Curzer.  My Kitlog site is designed as a specific tool to help meet the FAA requirements to get my aircraft registered once it is done.  This blog on the other hand will be where I will post my "educational" experience.  Enjoy.
