Good to see there are some other machinist here. My first "real" job was in a machine shop and I have been in the trade since, (I am 29). I am currently a CNC programmer for a company that makes ground support equipment and flying sub assemblies for military aircraft. Also the Sig SE is is an awesome airplane unfortunently I only got about 6 months use out of mine as it was plowed in during a streamer drop at a fun-fly. The streamer came out of the cup at take off and wrapped around my tail bringing me down. As you can see it made my fuselage into a unique three piece design

I stripped the gear out and junked the fuse, I saved the wings because they only had minor damage which will save me from building the wing when I make another one.
