Building wings, minds, and leaders.
Ready for a final class for the year? We are on a good roll to close out the year on a high note. Last Saturday’s work went well with good progress made by all teams. This week’s class will be a bit shorter because we will be having a parent visit at 2 PM to […]
TeenFlight build session. Late start due to pancake breakfast at Twin Oaks Airpark. Hopefully everyone had a good Christmas and New year's. We're back and we're back to building the airplane!
TeenFlight build session. Regular 9am start. This week, hopefully we can get the main seat ribs installed and other sub-assemblies can be attached so that it can start looking more like a small boat, if not an airplane. We are working on the rudder and brake systems also, so we need a place to hang […]
TeenFlight build session. Regular 9am start time this week. We will see real visible progress as we join more of the sub-assemblies that we have been working on for the past weeks. While we do have a lot to yet finish on the fuselage, the empennage/tail cone kit is on order. As we empty the […]
TeenFlight build session. Regular 9am start this week. Expect to see real progress this week with the belly skin installation, and maybe even some work on the side skins. Rob. Strickland Jr. will speak at 1:30pm
TeenFlight build session. We look forward to good progress this week as we assemble the lower forward fuselage, fuselage upper longerons and side skins.
Pancake breakfast at Twin Oaks Airpark.
Teenflight build session. This week we will continue working on the fuselage and should be able to get the side skins installed. This will be a major milestone. Work will continue on the fuel tank and the upper forward fuselage components. This means that we may be running out of work soon. The good news […]
Teenflight build session: Van will not attend this week. Dan Benua will oversee this session. There is a lot of work lined up with the fuselage side skins being ready to rivet and other associated work. The fuel tank is essentially ready to seal and rivet. The empennage kit has been unloaded into the back […]
Teenflight build session. We’ll continue work on some of the empennage parts. The fuel tank assembly is challenging and requires careful planning for each step of assembly. Van may give an introductory talk on “how airplanes fly / aerodynamics” or whatever we want to call it. This field is broad enough to expand into multiple […]
