Looking good Pete. That should really stir up the neighborhood gossips. ;D "You're building a WHAT?" and "You're really going to fly that?" Heh heh, all part of the fun.

Tom, I have had a few people stop and ask if it was a real plane. Most of my neighbors know I'm nuts.

Pete, we live a thousand miles apart, and have the same neighbors. Mine saw me working on my Sonerai frame and thought I was building a sand rail, or a mini dragster. When one couldn't take it anymore he stopped by and asked. When I told him what it was and what it could do, I got . . . The Look. The upside is that my neighbors never bother the crazy guy.

I had two police visits when I had assembled one of my completed, painted Mongs in the backyard. Apparently someone driving by thought there was an 'airplane crash' within the city limits...We all had a good laugh. Looks Good, Pete......Ed

Finally got around to welding the rear strut attachment fitting. Still need to weld a finger patch. This is the first time ever welding except for practice. No machine shop tools were used in the making of these parts. (You can tell that for sure).

Pete, how about an update?
I'm currently rebuilding a shed into a hangar for the Skylite, so not much is getting done on aircraft until the hangar is done.

Tom, I set my Skylite aside. I'm getting kicked out of my hangar and am looking for a place. I'll get back to it when I move.
