Greg,My first project I did ribs and then wings. I guess most people do this.But you go through a long dry time of wondering what the plane will looklike. ( too long between starting and sitting in it).So on the Aircamper I started the fuselage first, then all the little subassys., with ribs in between. Now all ribs are done and thinking about thewing. Just incase anyone is put off from starting because of not a big enoughshop.....this is my second project in a 10ft.x20 ft. basement.walt" building is not so much the destination, but more so the journey"-----Original Message-----

Added onto that question... How much should a rebuilt C65 be worth.I have a chance to buy one for $3500 and thought that seemed prettyreasonable for a completelyrebuilt aircraft engine. But I'm not an expert by any means.Greg Yotz-----Original Message-----

I was just about ready to start construction and I got an assignment to acustomer site for a year. I have an apartment and I commute Monday andFriday. I started on the ribs because I can do them on my kitchen table. Ithink that I will probably get tail surfaces done while I'm here also.Mike BellColumba,SC (RestonVa during the week)Maiser(at)adena.byu.edu on 08/25/99 08:40:01 PMPlease respond to piet(at)byu.edu @ INTERNETcc:Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: PIETGreg,My first project I did ribs and then wings.
