Winter projects?
 
I was just wondering what people having going during the inside season, lucky for me I can fly most of the year but most spend this time building. So whats your winter project?
Im trying decide on my next project, but i am still saving for the next project.
Just for fun and conversation.

Going to buy all the stuff I need to get my Rookie II in the air. The biggest thing I'm needing is the gear set for it so guess that will be my winter project. KC-just too darn lucky with your WX down there. Ha. Ha.

Hooker, any of you guys that wanna make a winter trip down this way are welcome to come fly as my guest, 500' x 2500' of flat smooth CLEAN concrete, even Ron Long could hit the runway every time here.

Thanks mike. That would make two or three of us. I'm ready to get this thing molded and flying.

KC, don't tempt me. I love it down there where you are at. Does the possums on a half shell stay out in the winter month's down there? Thanks for the offer. I might just have to work that out.

All sounds im thinking f15&f14 myself but that depends on somethings. And like Kc said burn lots of fuel since the winter is better than summer flying do to mild temps.

Now that's funny!!!!! If it's 500 ft wide, I probably could too!

Still working on my Mark Frankel Learjet 31A (making good progress, in primer now). Hope to have it completed early in 2012 so I can start either my Avonds F-16 or BVM T-33.

Both *really* nice flying airplanes - although the T-33 can be tricky to land - esp. in comparison to the F-16. I built one of those for a buddy and its an awesome flying plane!

I am working on a 46 size twin from plans called a Gemini. A lor of work but its going ok so far. :D

RE: Winter projects?
 
yeah its driving me nuts with nothing to build, I am having to dip into my hobby funds to buy 6x12 trailer to haul the stuff. I normally just use my vehicle, but with jets and Jet-A fuel I cannot do this. I cannot take the fumes, so more delays. I guess I can just do some pc gaming this winter.

its amazing how much a box with wheels cost these days [:@]
