Our Reserved N # - N742SL confirmation arrived from the FAA today in the Mail. It's good for the next 12 months....I expect I'll need to re-new it again next Feb to hold as I do NOT expect to be finished by then.
Found a local source for aluminum from a note from Debo Cox. He's being some kind of great help in this 1st month. Anyway. Yarde Metals in High-Point (less than 30 miles away) has and will sell. Prices for multiple sheets on .016 and .025 are less than A/C Spruce, by a bunch, but .032 and .040 are almost the same amount higher. No FGT however....just $40 skid fee. Delivery available 2 to3 days out. Called A/C Spru to cancel the Alum with them and was advised it had been pulled TODAY and would be on it's way tonite. I owe it to them to stand on the order so I thanked them and will look for it later this week or early next. In the future....looks like Yarde for me.
Next week...I start for real...building REAL Airplane parts.
