I had to make a really hard decision. About 3 months ago, I started a new job. I am working at The Airplane Factory. Yes, the same one that sold me the Sling TSi. I am now doing sales for them. Funny how life takes these strange twists and turns, and this has been a great one!

I jumped in with both feet and between all the time I am spending coming up to speed with them and the trips, projects, and other fun things I have in my life, I decided to bring the plane down to the Build Assist Center at TAF in Torrance so that I could work on it down there with them. On the one hand, it feels a bit like cheating because I'll be getting top notch help. On the other hand, my goal with this project to is to work on a plane that I will love flying for years to come, so getting a little "Builder Assist" is not the end of the world.

I rented a 26' long box truck from Budget (I only needed 20', but that wasn't an option) and got some help from my son and some of the local EAA builders to load up the fuselage and wings. Tomorrow, I start the drive down to Torrance.
