Like Lindbergh, Earheart, and the other great globetrotting aviators I have ventured across this expansive country called America.
Leaving behind my homebase of Sanford-Lee County municipal airport (<
I started work on the empenage of the RV-7 today. As compared to the RV-4 the RV-7 is like building a lego airplane. Progress for today was to mount the spar stiffener and the elevator hinges. This
Somebody at the FAA has a rather finely honed sense of irony. They decided that Labor Day was a good occasion to put the screws on Air Traffic Controllers and their union, NATCA, by unilaterally impos
The bulk of the work on the left hand elevator is now done. All I have to do is add a little more lead to the counterweight and then attach the fiberglass end tip.

Yep, two hours of the three required to rent the school Piper PA28 are completed. I had a fun lesson today with a lot of slow flight, pushing the limit trying to get it to stall. Not easy, just some b

I got my CFI insurance policy today. And, my business cards came in the mail. And so begins the carpet-bombing of bulletin boards at local upscale businesses ...
The past few days has been ugly flying weather. And of course, the two days I have school are beautiful VFR days. Today, Ernesto let up a bit, and it was actually clear for a while! And I happened to
