The Empennage has arrived!

August 27, 2004
OK, OK ~I KNOW~ It's been 8 months since I've updated the site. I've learned
a lot in these past months. For one thing, things are never as they seem. I've
read a couple of very good articles about how to save up enough money to get
started building the plane. Most notably, Doug
Reeve's article. Still, around our house, once money starts accumulating in
any account anywhere, SOMETHING ALWAYS COMES UP TO USE IT UP!!! Christmas,
birthdays, you name it. To top it off, Liz and I decided that it would be better
if we paid off the credit cards before we spent any more money on stuff. Good
Grief.
Anyway, the good news is that the cards are all paid off and (drum roll) I've
ordered the empennage!!!!
I guess it takes about a week to get here so in the mean time I'm cleaning
the shop.

Not quite enough to place the order because of the electric trim option.
Still, it's very close.

According to the Save-O-Meter, we have
enough to order the empennage! Liz and I will be placing the order soon!

We should be ordering in about mid-November. My wife and I are currently
trying to decide between Electric vs. Manual trim. I have only flown Cessna's
with Manual trim and it seems OK. I kind of like the idea of a hat switch on the
stick for trim but like I said, have never flown it. I also am not sure if you
need Electric if you plan to have altitude hold.
If you have any comments or opinions on the subject I would be happy to hear
from you. bill at kane-king.com
Refer to the Save-O-Meter to see how
close to ordering we are. |
