It's been just shy of 1 month since I brought home the Lancair, and I've done about 15hrs of "work" directly on the project.. That's not nearly what I was hoping, but with the weekend in Dallas, not too bad. Unfortunately, I'm about to hop an airplane for Asia for 2 weeks, so the project is going to have to wait for me a little more. However, the work that I have reviewed so far has been pretty good in my mind. I believe the fiberglass work is better than anything I could do, and so far everything seems to be following the construction manual. This week I managed to get through the center section and the landing gear. Once I start actually working on the project, I will be taking apart the gear, re-finishing it, and replacing some of the nut and bolt hardware. Yesterday I decided it needed a bath. Sitting in a north-east Texas hangar for some years, there was a good coat of dirt and clay (now the's clay on my driveway). It washed off pretty nicely though. Yesterday's dry day helped dry it off pretty quickly.
Hopefully by the time month 2 comes around, I'll be ready to start doing some actual work on the project.
