Good job Gene!!!!!I have been down to see Gene a few times over the years. He even loaned me his rib jig to many years ago. I have to say I have been the proverbial bump on a log, and I'd say it is time to get off that log and pull my head out and get to building. Even though Gene loaned me his jig, It appears to be a better deal to build your own from what I have been reading in the archives this evening. I have the cap-strip for the ribs, the wood for the tail group, and all the wood for the fuse in the attic above the garage. I suppose this list is making me accountable so to speak for getting this project on the road. I hope my questions over the next few years don't become too much for you guys. No more excuses either. Tomorrow I will pick up a board to build the rib jig. Gene I will return yours as soon as it fits into yours and mines schedule. Email me off list and we will work that out. My wife has had many health problems and I suppose I have been hiding behind that in a way. He rproblems continue, but it is time for me to move forward with this dream of mine to build a plane. I hope to learn as much, and be able to teach as much some day to someone else, in the way you all teach each other. I'll get off the soapbox now, I need to find a place to build a website, and start the progress logs. Thanks, you'll be hearing from me. Doug BlackburnYucaipa Californiap.s. Carl Levken, drop me a line..............________________________________________________________________________________
