RSS- I’m always surprised by how nice but underutilized the Rutherfordton airport is. I’m thinking that my Zenith flight testing will be here if they have an available hangar.
- Flew through the mountain pass where Chimney Rock is. You can see where the parking lot slid down the hill during the flooding last week.
- Had to divert on my flight home. Someone blew a tire and “exited” the end of the runway. Landing at another airport sounded cheaper than holding in the air for a hour.

- Been thinking about my NEXT plane build. This is high on the list. Maybe in a different color though.
- The flying club airplanes and civil air patrol are lined up like little soldiers this morning
- Flipped a coin on which wing to start first. Heads was the call so the right wing it is. #myzenith750
- Did some repairs on Marc’s GPS unit. The backup battery was buried and soldered to the board. Sheesh.
- Building airplanes is hard on my hands. My knuckles are finally healed from the last thing and now I skip a cutoff wheel across a longeron and nick it again. #itsjustafleshwound #myzenith750
- Still unsure about these seats :)
- These seats are not too shabby
- Wing delivery day #myzenith750
- My Rosie the riveter pose. She did it better but I’m having fun anyway. #myzenith750
- NOW it’s really looking like an airplane. #myzenith750
- Attach the cockpit assembly to the plane day. Woot! #myzenith750

- Tonight I arranged for three men who were T-38 Instructors to give a talk about some of their experiences. It was much much funnier than I expected. What a great privilege it is to not only know these guys but to get to call them my friends.
- My co pilot is hotter than yours.
- Hmm, that looks like a runway...
