Was fairly disgusted after the last two outings working on the plane in January. It took me seven hours to do things that should have taken three or less hours. I also broke my 3/32" dimple die. At the time, I decided to take a day or two off and just play music. Three months later, I am back to work on the plane. In the meantime, my exhaust arrived from Vetterman. I ordered the four pipe with heat muff and no mufflers. I also went to Sun n Fun and had a great time. I purchased a Tig welder from Lincoln and took their welding workshop. I have absolutely no need for a welder (until I build a Bearhawk!) but I wanted one. I also decided to go with Flightline Interiors for my seats, carpet, etc. I talked to Abby last week and gave her a deposit. She indicated that I should receive the items in June. Today, I marked the centerline on the canopy. I taped off the front and rear portions of the canopy at the tooling lines. I had previously purchased a Harbor Freight die grinder to cut the canopy. The first cut took forever using that die grinder and my air compressor. I made the second cut using the cutting disc in my drill. That went much better, but I am going to purchase a Rotozip in the morning at the recommendation of my friend Joe. I also ordered a new dimple die from Cleaveland Tool.
