Curt,
Congratulations on the arrival of the QB fuselage. It sounds like
you're well on your way to finishing the plane (maybe 60% done and 180%
to go?). We still working on the fuel tanks. This is the first time
I've started to wonder where it ends - the wings are far from done and
I'm getting ready to order a slow build fuselage because I don't have
enough to keep me busy this winter and I'm pricing engines, guages, and
electronics and pondering where the money is going to come from. I need
to turn the corner to where I can see the end in sight.

It never ends. I just got this TR6 and had to order some universal joints
and carb rebuild kits. Now I have to kind of share the cash flow between the
plane and the car.
I need to retire so I have time to work on everything. But if I retire, I
don't have enough money to work on everything. It is a conundrum for sure.

Curt:
You most absolutely assuredly have to visit the birthplace of your bird! I live
quite nearby
and my wife is doing her training at Aurora. The factory is worth the visit and
they are very
kind and quick to give a tour. And, you aren't very far from all the winerys of
which you
speak!

Curt
Congratulations... I'm jealous.
Yes it is a big box. I brought an RV 6 QB home in the
back of a pickup. It caught some attention.
Well guess I had better go pound some rivets or mine
is going to remain a kit.
