    Default Plane Shows Up Tomorrow!

    Partain is showing up tomorrow evening with my kit and I cannot wait. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Although my build is going to take a year longer than planned due to the fact that I now have to pay for a wedding before an engine!

    Smart move to buy the ring before the engine. You need her on board. Congrats on both.

    I think it's an FAA rule here that if you accept a ring you have to help build.
    Not sure about Ontario though. I hear Poly-Tak does not damage diamonds.

    Congrats on both very big events.

    Thanks everyone! I am very excited about both. She is already very on board with the airplane as she flies a Cessna Conquest II for a living. BUT she is very busy in the summer so I won't be building when she is home. In the winter she plans on giving me a hand.

    In other news Partain was delayed and wont be here until tomorrow now! As he can't deliver to Canada I am meeting him with a truck in Michigan. It was almost impossible to find an available truck to rent. I had to settle on a 26' Uhaul even though John recommended against it due to the wheel wells. But because the truck is SO long I may have 16 feet before the wells. I will have to play around with it once I get the truck. I also ordered a dozen extra mozing blankets.

    I moved my IV project from new York to Wisconsin in a 26' uhaul. It worked great and rode terrible. You will be fine. Extra blankets will help.
