Sonex #1416 - Andy Walker

[Andy Walker]

I'm Andy Walker and I'm building Sonex #1416 here in Athens, Georgia. I've currently completed the tail and the rear fuselage. It's going to be a Jabiru 3300 tri-gear airplane.

Looking good Andy! You'll have the fuselage on the gear in no time! Do you have the wings done?

Keep at it! :mrgreen:

No Mike, it's actually a 12x24 aluminum workshop building. I've really outgrown it, and am in the process of converting my den into a garage (it was previously a garage, but the house previous owners enclosed it) to finish my build.

If you know anybody who needs a 12x24 R-13 insulated building let me know (can be moved on a large flatbed trailer, that's how it was delivered)! :mrgreen: I'm including the 10K BTU air conditioner I've been using as well.

Thanks Michael!

Wings are not done, I decided to do the fuse first because the subkit was cheaper, and I figured I could keep making progress while keeping some bills in my pocket. It's all got to get done eventually, after all! ;) And besides, I figure the wings are the most critical components, so good to do them with the most amount of building experience under my belt.
