It will be a challenge to get anything done in the next few weeks. For several years I’ve built where I’ve worked, which lets me do bits and pieces during the day - immensely valuable for keeping the project moving along. Now that I’ve two kids, this is basically the only build time I have left.

Time marches on, however, and as the plane project grows, so has our company. We’ve reached a point where it’s no longer practical to live in what amounts to a nice but spartan warehouse, and are moving to new quarters. When we do, it won’t make any sense to rent a 4000 sq. ft. building to build a Cozy (ha!) so we’ll move it to the hangar. That’s going to be a major project since we have more than your average number of parts - two fuselages, three wings, lots of spare build foam, etc. Building will also be slowed down by proximity to John Slade’s Cozy, as we’ll be sharing the same hangar.

Still, it’s for the best, and we’ll have plenty of space to complete the build. With some luck and hard work, the primary structure will be completed this year, while it’s warm and we don’t need to heat the space as much, leaving the engine and avionics to complete over the winter. That would get me flying by 2008. Fingers crossed!
