My wife sent the check today. $1578 to Western AircraftSupplies for all of the spruce. Now I have to put in a quick plywood order, buy some T88 and get my rib jig puttogether.Oh yeah, plus clean the workbench, replace the bathroomvanity, and build a cabinet for the TV. SWMBO doesn't always share my sense of priorities.Dave________________________________________________________________________________

They now have as part oftheir vocabularies, words like cap strip, chuck key, strut, brace, gusset,and they now actually know that a wood screw is not made of wood! LastOctober, we three played hooky and spent a Friday at the EAA CopperstateFly-in, where they joined the Young Eagles program and took their firstflight in a small aircraft (Piper Cherokee). When they landed, they wereall smiles and eyes like saucers. We can't wait till next year and in themean time, I come home every day from work and answer the same question fromboth of them, "Are we going to work on the plane tonight?" I'm sure theyare informally learning some of the science, and we get to spend good timetogether.

Civil Air Patrol and Aviation Exploring, not forgetting Young Eagles, all have"first flight" programs for young people, and they ALL have stories of wonderand enjoyment. Forty-six years ago I took my first ride, as a young CAPCadet. Been hooked ever since. Been making a (good) living in aviation forforty-four. Like the saying goes, there MUST be money in aviation...I've putquite a bit there myself! ________________________________________________________________________________
