what do you need in a plane building workshop.
Well it can be plain for fancy.
We are building 2 in a basement and have been doing it for over 4 years, one day a week.
The pros are, uniform temperature year round, plenty of room and a workshop that can stay when we are done.
The cons, a hole in the family room floor to get the parts out (this is not a walk out) and the need for final assembly and strake building area.
Well the hole in the floor is not a big deal, roll back the carpet, cut and frame hole as though you were putting in a stairway, lift parts out, reframe and cover hole up and restretch carpet.
I met a guy in scottsdale who is building in his apartment living room, on the second floor, did nice work. When I was there he was through chap 8. His workbench was on his porch outdoors, not a big porch.
The parts are not that big, it's a cozy.
The Epoxy has no odor(mgs or is it msg)
The point is, build.
In a basement
In a garage
in a livingroom
In a barn
In a hanger
In a shed
In a bedroom
In an attic
In a borrowed any of the above.
In a rented any of the above.
My build sit is an hour drive from my house, we take it every week and enjoy the ride and conversation.
Build and don't let anything stop you. When the area you are in is too small, you will find a bigger one, just build.
We are on chapter 20, twice and have done everything except install the main spar, for that we will wait until outside.
The main gear were fully installed and then removed and stored
The canards were installed and then removed and stored
Build, Build, Build
