Feb 24, 2024     EAA 1475 group visit to the shop/project day       Category: Workshop
Three years ago I did a presentation for my EAA chapter at the airport on my Velocity project I had just rescued. I did a a sample layup, showed off some of the factory made parts, and talked about the plane in general. Last year I had made some progress (canard, winglets, elevators etc) that were too big to transport easily so I invited the chapter to my house to show everything. It was well received, so I did it again this year. I had the wings skinned and moved to the garage and the fuselage moved to the shop to start on it. A few came that had been at the past presentations so they could see the progress. It is a great incentive to get things done so I am not showing the same thing over and over. Maybe by next year I can have a group sanding party!!

Started organizing the project, built a rack for the rolls of clothe, inventoried and hung up hardware bags. Started reading the manual and watching the VHS tapes. Rebuilt the epoxy ratio pump that came with the project. Ordered some EZ poxy, Aeropoxy, and other supplies. Made a couple of rigs to drop plumb bobs from.
