Hello,
Just purchased a FEW Mustang kit (no. 33) from another individual and moved it
to the Los Angeles area. Hoping to hear from other FEW builders that are willing
to share their techniques for building. Any builders on the Southern California
area?

Congratulations! You are not too far from a great source of help at Mustang
headquarters, and Ed Hullinger, at Santa Paula. We have two Mustangs here in
Hillsboro, Oregon, both at the firewall-forward stage. From whom did you get
your kit?

To all those that replied so quickly, thank you. I shall try to answer
your questions at this post.
I bought the kit from Mark Alexander of Dayton, Ohio. I think it is
fitting that I purchased my airplane at the same place where the Wright
Brothers invented the bicycle. It is (I believe) from the second
production group from FEW. It is a single seat D version but I believe
that it has the current production wing. I hope to add a jump seat to it
but it will only fit someone much smaller than myself. The kit was
produced in 1993 and had been dragged around through 2 moves before Mr.
Alexander decided to give up the project.
He had assembled the fuselage with most bulkheads installed. He has closed
the horizontal stabilizer. The rudder and elevators have the ribs and
spars installed but not closed. The wing is completely unbuilt. The
fiberglass work is actually not that bad but the metal work is pretty poor.
I have removed all the metal work, (that I can get access to), nut plates
mostly, and have begun to re-fabricate them. I receive information and
assistance from one of the chapter members who is also a sheet metal worker
at an aircraft manufacturing plant (he is building his own Symphony). I
guess that it doesn't better than that.
I am working on the fuselage at the Compton Airport at the EAA Chapter 96
hangar. There are closer chapters, but this one maintains shop space for
it's members to build their projects. I am building the wing at a friends
workshop which is much closer to where I work and live. I have the wing
table complete and have begun to glue the spar cap to the main spar shear
web. Next week I will pull it out and install the reinforcing laminants.
I have been a little discouraged that the project has been going backwards
as I undo elements of the kit but I believe that I have turned the corner
and begun to move forward again. It is getting pretty interesting. It is
also very intimidating with respect to the size of this project.
A wise man once said, "How do you eat an elephant?"
"One bite at a time!"
