Hangar Update

So today after school I headed on over to the airport to meet Dad. We rented a Cessna 182 to taxi over to the hangar to use as a template in place of our friends Skylane (we didn't have access to his airplane today) to see if it would fit in with our 150. After a few minutes of trial and error, we found both airplanes fit perfectly! With both airplanes in we'll still have adequate room to work on the RV. What a great deal.. we have a perfect hangout, a house for our little workhorse 150, and prime working area for the RV project! all for a great price! Though it's still not officially our, it shall be ready for the no vacancy sign one week from today. Time to start thinking about moving stuff out of the storage garage and into the hangar! Today was productive, and we can't wait for the wing kit to arrrive, hopefully within the next 4-6 weeks it'll be arriving at Dad's work!

Update

I figured it's been a while since I've put a post up, but I just wanted to let everyone who follows this know that we're still alive and still in the process of building the RV! Currently we're just waiting for our wing kit though, and we're expecting it to arrive within the next 4-5 weeks. Also, we're still waiting to hear the progress of our future hangar we're expecting to move into. It's a 50' x 50' hangar that was used for a glider business that recently shut down on our local airport. We will be splitting it with our friend who will be keeping his Cessna 182 there and we'll have room for our Cessna 150 and our RV project, so it will be perfect! Being able to cancel the current tie down fee for our 150, and the storage space we rent justifies the price of the hangar, so it should work out just fine.

Fiberglass Work

Lately we've been doing some fiberglass work here and there on the tips of the empennage. We aren't in too much of a hurry to do this right now since we're waiting on moving all of our stuff into the new hangar! But this won't happen until the first of September. We also filled out the wing kit order form and are going to fax it in tomorrow! Here are a few pics of our progress on the fiberglass so far.
