Today was the day that I picked up my spruce order! "And there was much rejoicing" (in a Pythonesq tone). I spent my evening cataloging the shipment and cleaning my workspace. On a side note, I purchased a sheet of 45* plywood for the forward wing spar and it has the grain running at 45* / 135* / 45* so I'm not sure why the grain arrows show. 90* / 45* on the plans.
Better than that I got to see two incredible aircraft. A Howard 500 and a Grumman Albatross. The shear size and magnitude of these machines is humbling. I am at a loss for words to add to this description.
I went to the local EAA chapter 237 meeting last night and met a great group of people and observed a chapter that is trying to reinvent itself into the future. This is club has an air of entrepreneurship and I am planning on joining sometime in the near future. My lazy butt needs to find a stamp.
Here is a picture of a biplace that was for sale years ago.
