Well maybe just the Airplane and Grandson :)
Last week grandson did a photo shoot for Plane + Pilot Magazine with the Carbon Cub we built.

That's impressive! How many hours do you think it took to build the plane? What parts required fabrication?
This is the 3rd Carbon Cub we have built so it went a little faster than the first one. We didn't keep track of the hours. The factory states 1000-1500 which depends on the time spent doing the fabric and paint process. I spend a lot of time on the covering/painting since that is what everybody sees. All of the parts are already fabricated so it is an assembly process rather than building from a set of plans like the Biplane I built in 1973 was.

This is the one I built from plans in 1973 and restored in 1995 which I still have.

Jim, you guys got it going on. I observerved your work though pics of the assembly process & recognize quality & attention to detail when I see it.. Y'all should be noted. Bravo!
 
You had friends???:cool::p

Astounding, isn't it? I'm still baffled.

Way back in college, I was sitting with a friend at my favorite hangout when a girl I'd known since junior high came in and sat down with us. I introduced to my friend and he says, "I have a question. Why is it that all of his friends look like you and all of my friends look like HIM?"
