Welcome to my experimental aircraft website. Here I will chronicle the scratch build project. The Garangar has been named "Air Fiero" by my every so helpful and understanding beautiful bride, who refuses to give up her parking place inside. She does let me use her side sometimes, but the night belongs to "SEW PRO"

Thanks to Chuck Zichichi from EAA chapter 13. He let me demo his plane (with an instructor) and that convinced me this would be a good machine to make. I plan on using the same paint job only having the stars be Chevy Bow Ties because it will have a Corvair engine.

I have worked in the metal trades for 30 years and am looking at this as my retirement gift to self. I will continue to post changes here as I make them.
