abeck Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hello all. I've been in the background reading for several months now. I saw a Long-EZ flying over my house when I was just a kid and have been intrigued ever since. Over the last year I have started to get more serious doing research and it culminating in going to Oshkosh this year. I managed to attend the composites workshop with my dad (it was all old news to him since he repaired his Corvette bodies himself back in the 70's) and spoke to a few people. I'm glad I went as it really alleviated some of the anxiety I had over my ambitions to build a Long-EZ while attending college. I will be moving back to Columbus, Ohio in a week and starting a degree in Engineering Physics. I have looked through a lot of the build logs and gave myself conservative estimates to build over long weekends and breaks in sprints. With disciplined planning and budgeting I am confident I can make significant progress over 3 years without sacrificing study time. I understand it will be quite an undertaking but that motivates me even more. Everything I've read so far on these forums have been very helpful and motivating and I thank all of you. Unless something comes up, I'm planning to do practice layups over Labor Day and start the bulkheads at Thanksgiving. I will try to post updates when I can for the support and more importantly, constructive criticism. AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidhawk9 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Do keep us updated on your progress, it is always a boost to builders to see other progressing! Just don't let it interfere with your studies - you'll need that to earn enough for a nice engine and avionics later.
