We had a great time sharing information about Young Eagles and building the Vans RV12iS.
Even advertising Aircraft Spruce a little, under the table.

>We are currently working on the Fuselage and Wings
>63Volunteers have worked 1348+ hours.
Some projected numbers below (best guess).
Some hard work going on here; started building the wings. Beautiful anodized aluminum wing spar; the gold is a clue to $$$.
Taking a break? We have plenty of beverages for those hot days. Rudder pedals installed.
Airport Sunset; never gets old.
After build fun at Roosters (maybe they'll sponsor us). Cars lining up to build; our first gate pass failure.
These may help make drilling a BIT easier.
