Latest photo for Spruce Juju is the vertical stabilizer. This shot was just after I epoxied the gussets in place. It's been many weeks since I worked on the plane. But with warm weather I have felt new energy and a resurgence of interest in this project.<br />
<br />
<br />
Still waiting on the complete set of plans from TEAM. Since they are still building the prototype I figure I have to be patient.<br />
<br />
<br />
For those of you that are just entering the blog. This started out as a TEAM Hi-max and has since grown into a new two place side by side design called the Epic Sport. Every minimax design uses the same ribs so I didn't have to redo any of that work. I did have to build a different tail. This tail design comes from the AeroMax line. It differs from the Minimax and HiMax mainly because it has laminate bow's at the tips.Jon Fergusonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00105829163005056875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474964479114358009.post-72397026530436899412015-05-07T12:57:00.002-07:002015-05-07T12:57:31.444-07:00Images from the Past<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I received an email from Mary Painter this week. Mary's folks Jack and Ruby Painter were my God parents and also part owners of the plane my dad had when I grew up. You've read often about my musings about our old airport Taylor Aviation. Unfortunately I just didn't have many pictures left of the old place. But Mary has lot's of photo's and she sent these. Above was most of the family friends, and crew that helped us with the 1986 Airshow. <br />

Above the Stinson as it looked when the club bought it. Notice the original round wingtips and below you can see the drooped tips that they added later to improve stall speed, take off roll and cruise. Personally I always thought the plane looked nicer with the stock wingtips.<br />

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">I slept in this morning!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Still managed to spend 30 minutes in the barn though before work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tapered two of the rudder ribs into an
airfoil shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I searched around the
barn for something that had a nice arc to use as a template.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ended up using a wing rib!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The arc on the rudder is the same arc on the
top trailing edge of the wing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turned
out pretty nice.</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">An Airbike distributer in England was kind enough to send
me some of the Airbike pushrod control drawings (see attachment).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is closer to what I want to do with my
plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only drawback I can see from
leaving the Teleflex cables behind is I won't be able to have flaperons and I
won't be able to reflex the ailerons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
gather the plane cruises a little faster with the Aileron's reflexed (they say
three or four knots faster).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As far as
flap's go, it simply doesn't need them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Most of the folks that fly these say that they never put the flaps
down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They create a lot of drag and
marginal lift and the design is already low mass and draggy to begin with, all
that is needed to slow down is to reduce power, even in a shallow dive.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">It's kind of hard to get Airbike plans in the USA because
the damn lawyers have ruined it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Personally I think it's a fine little aircraft and as safe as any of
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose the Hi-Max because it's
more airplane-like with an enclosed cockpit etc, but the Airbike is awesome if
you like being out there in the slipstream.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">I have no idea why Wayne Ison designed the Airbike with
pushrods and the Minimax with Teleflex cables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I suspect it has something to do with ease of construction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Airbike is welded tube and the Minimax
line is made of wood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For some reason a
lot of homebuilders shy from welding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
personally enjoy welding and have the equipment, but wanted a wood airplane
this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just find wood is more
enjoyable to work with.</span></div>

Today I drilled a series of 1 mm holes through the rudder post for the lower rudder hinge. Turning a series of holes into a nice neat sawn line required a bit of head scratching. I ended up taking this old saber saw blade in my hand and very gently pulling it from hole to hole, back and forth till I had a shallow trench in the rudder post. This particular blade just happened to be the exact same width as the hinge. I sawed very gently for quite some time and the trench turned into a cut. Eventually the saw blade came out the bottom of the wood and the rest was easy. Happy to say I was able to attain an absolutely perfect fit! The hinge fits so snugly that I actually had to tap it gently with a rubber mallet to push it through the slot.<br />
<br />
I initially held the saber saw blade in my hand but this was very uncomfortable so I converted a piece of scrap into a quick and dirty handle in about five minutes. This made the job much easier.<br />
<br />
The AN hardware fits very snugly but without issues. I put the bolts in just to make sure that they would go all the way through. They fit snug enough that I actually had to turn them in with a screw driver.<br />
<br />
I think I should probably paint these hinges before putting them into the post for good. I was considering using POR 15. That stuff is amazing.Jon Fergusonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00105829163005056875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474964479114358009.post-1676142722857477402014-07-14T10:22:00.001-07:002016-06-15T13:01:08.606-07:00Tool Bench, Work Table #2, and Vertical Stabilizer.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spent my Birthday leave getting my shop prepared to build wings! In the background you can see our new tool bench which was cut down and repurposed from an old storage loft in the garage. We had enough material to make the bench top and a shelf underneath.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Middle ground you can see my second work table butting up against the first one. That board underneath is just sitting there, I’ll cut it down and make it a cross brace tomorrow morning. I still need to add the straight edge to the second table. This should be sufficient space to build the plane. Sorry about the mess! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I helped a fellow Minimax builder move shop to a new house last Thursday and he gave me his old drill press. He had just purchased a new one and didn’t need two. The old one works just fine and has a new belt. The little wedge on the right hand foreground is our table saw.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Not a whole lot of progress on the actual plane last week. I tried to build an aileron bearing rib #5 but decided I didn’t like how it turned out. I am going to build it again and see if I can do better this time. I am learning some new tricks. Every time I start a new component I am back on the learning curve, but hey that’s what this is about. Now that I have a drill press many jobs are going to be easier and neater.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I cut the piano hinge provided from TEAM into two hinges for the rudder. Just used a vise and a hacksaw cleaned up any burs and sharp edges with the bench sander, they turned out pretty nice. Tomorrow I’ll drill the holes in the vertical stabilizer spars for the hinges and the fuselage mounting points.<br />
<br />

Now just saving money to build spars.Jon Fergusonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00105829163005056875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474964479114358009.post-21777640409816740972014-06-30T06:36:00.000-07:002016-06-15T13:03:39.026-07:00Builder Log Spruce JuJu<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Finished up the first
work bench this week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Julie and I spent
a lot of time reorganizing the barn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
hardest part was pushing the very large cast iron wood stove back into place by
its chimney pipe wall penetration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
I get the chimney pipes reconnected we’ll have heat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I look forward to burning wood scraps in the
stove.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next winter I’ll be able to epoxy
all winter long!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can see we have an
entire quarter of the barn cleared out now for the project, now that is
progress!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Picked up two yellow aluminum
rulers that were 48” long (shown in photo). They were only $8.00 apiece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Asa and I carefully wet drilled nice neat
holes in them about every 8 or 9 inches. I used our longest aluminum strait
edge to make sure they were lined up perfectly before screwing them down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I had worried that
differences between TEAM’s jigs and mine would cause minute differences between
the wing ribs and my concerns were somewhat justified.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are a little different a 1/16<sup>th</sup>
off here and a 1/8<sup>th</sup> off there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I think the prudent course is to use my ribs for one wing and TEAMs ribs
for the other wing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aerodynamically I
don’t think it will matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The outer
dimensions are very close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The new stuff arrived
undamaged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Overall very pleased with
TEAM, glad I picked the Minimax for my first plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>David Cooper has been ever available when I
needed help or advise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; mso-layout-grid-align: auto; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto; punctuation-wrap: hanging;">
<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I hung the new ribs up in
the barn separately from my ribs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
really like the laser cut gussets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shame
team doesn’t just sell gussets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; mso-layout-grid-align: auto; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto; punctuation-wrap: hanging;">
<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">One thing I can say with
pride is that my home made wing ribs are cleaner and nicer looking than TEAM’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you make things for your own plane you
take the time to get it as perfect as possible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course they have more experience than me
and I suspect that my level of precision simply isn’t needed for wing ribs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The TEAM ribs are perfectly sound and strong,
nothing wrong with them at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; mso-layout-grid-align: auto; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto; punctuation-wrap: hanging;">
<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I also bought some used
cheap used galvanized metal conduit and some phosphoric acid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll use the acid to dissolve the zinc
coating and thus rendering the metal safe to weld.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This I’ll use to practice welding this summer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; mso-layout-grid-align: auto; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto; punctuation-wrap: hanging;">
<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I plan to upgrade my Lincoln
with a gas kit so I can MIG (Metal Inert Gas).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It can arc weld right now with a spool of fluxed wire but I think the
MIG welds are stronger and look better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ll get a cylinder of CO2/AR mix for welding steel and a cylinder of AR
alone for welding aluminum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Minimax
as designed does not have a lot of welding if any required but I think I’ll
weld my own motor mount.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus I might
shape my cowling out of aluminum instead of carbon fiber.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Just for fun I lofted the
vertical stabilizer this morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I LOVE
my workbench.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having a metal ruler
screwed down in combination with a carpenter square is the bee’s knees!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s like having a giant drafting board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll get back to wing building soon I just
wanted to make something new for awhile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After 45 hours of wing ribs, I’ve earned it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I still have to put the
blocking into the specialized ribs for the aileron brackets and so forth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today I’ll go to the hobby lobby and see what
their plywood looks like; I’ve heard its aircraft grade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll do a boil test with a few plywood
coupons and compare it with the stuff I’ve been getting from aircraft spruce.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #1d1f22; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Next
week I’ll get the materials to build the next bench.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This one will only be five feet long instead
of eight feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I plan to bolt the two benches
firmly together perfectly flush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can
do this because I’ve put carriage bolts in all the feet of the tables so they
can be raised or lowered tiny fractions of an inch with a ¼” box wrench.</span>Jon Fergusonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00105829163005056875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474964479114358009.post-77130189539141792722014-06-16T05:56:00.001-07:002014-06-17T04:55:22.147-07:00Flight Design CTLS and workbenches.<br />

<span style="font-family: Consolas;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Consolas;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">Yesterday I flew the Flight Design CTLS for about an
hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My instructor was Bob Chandler,
owner of Chesapeake Aviation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
impressions of Chesapeake Aviation are that it is very much what I expected and
what I have seen at a number of flight schools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Bob's wife Dot answers the phones and greets people at the door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She put's in seven days a week there, I may
suggest they take a couple off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bob was
outstanding, very knowledgeable about the aircraft and he took nearly an hour
showing me all of its eccentricities before we even took off in preflight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Citabria was sadly down for engine
maintenance but it looked very nice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bob
thinks I should get my Sport pilot in the CTLS and then get a tail wheel
endorsement after the fact in the Citabria.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then he says I can build my time for my private and so forth in my own
plane. Bob thinks my plan is a good one and economical.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">The CTLS is fast (cruise 130 mph, stall 39 mph) and it
takes some getting used to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example
we had to back way off power on the downwind leg of the pattern just to give it
time to slow down enough to land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">It's the first plane I've ever flown that used a stick
instead of a yoke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's extremely
sensitive and responds to the slightest control input.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it's a two seater when you are in the
left seat you hold the stick in your left hand and right hand on the throttle,
from the right seat you fly the opposite way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Compared to the GA planes I've flown up till now the CTLS handles like a
sports car. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">The other thing that took some getting used to is the
glass cockpit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pretty much everything
was displayed on three LCD screens, engine numbers on the right screen, GPS
middle screen, and then the flight instruments on the left screen in front of
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's fairly intuitive but still
different and I struggled some.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">The cockpit is quite roomy inside and we didn't rub
shoulders like I usually do in GA planes.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Consolas;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">We went up and flew out of the pattern and Bob let me
make some turns and then just cut me loose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He asked what I would like to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I told him I would like to head back and shoot approaches so we flew
back to the airport and did a few touch and goes and then landed full stop.</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">At home I've been building work benches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just about finished with the first
bench.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to buy new wood and
build from scratch because the loft stuff just isn't built flat and true enough
to be considered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Decided to use the
full sheet of plywood so these project benches are each 4 x 8 and 33 inches
tall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today I am going to pick up some
carriage bolts to make them adjustable on the bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">I still have to bring the loft storage platform in the
garage down to make room for a new closet and I am still going to use the loft
structure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am just going to make tall
narrow tool benches out of it (instead of low wide work benches) to hold some
of our bench mounted tools (bench sander, bench vice, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Consolas;">So last night my son wanted me to read him a book before
bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Do you want me to read you a
book, or tell you a story?"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
first he chose the book option but when after offering him several choices he
had already heard ad nauseum he finally relented and asked for the story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Do you want to hear about the first man
to break the sound barrier?"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
nodded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Consolas;">I told that story to the best of my ability beginning
with how many pilots and planes went up to break the barrier and many were lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using my hands to gesture the shaking and the
sound waves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we went up into the
belly of the B-29 he was completely rapt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Higher and higher, then to step across the abyss of air and space to
nestle into the Bell X-1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made sound
effects of the rockets firing and described how the plane began to shake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And finally the massive sonic boom and the
heroic safe glide down and landing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I put the temporary gussets on the final rib for the right wing and gingerly popped it out of the jig this morning. I've been practicing getting my angle cuts perfected so that each piece of RS-1 (1/4" Spruce square) fit's snugly against every other piece. The plans say everything can be cut at right angles but I wanted to practice my craftsmanship because in other areas of the plane that precision is required. I was thankful for all that practice on the other ribs because for this rib you have to epoxy the spruce together and not rely so much on the gussets.<br /><br />Looking at the empennage, it's a lot bigger than I expected. I realize now that this too will require a work bench. I can't wait to get that built so I can carry on.<br /><br />Incidentally my Easy Cutter Ultimate tool grew dull. For those of you who have this tool I can tell you it's easy to sharpen. You just remove the lock nut and bolt and the blade slides right out with the handle that is attached to it. Then I sharpened it like I would any good knife and slid the parts back together. The spring is a leaf type and is mounted firmly to the handle that supports the cutting base so you don't have to worry about it bouncing into a pile of sawdust never to be seen again. Once reassembled the cutter worked good as new. Now that I know how easy it is I'll sharpen it often.<br /><br />Finally, best news ever, my dad (a pilot himself) offered to pitch in and help me out not only with my plane but also my flying lessons. Dad if you are reading this, thank you very much sir, indebted to you. He ordered me another rib kit from TEAM and set me up at Cheasapeake Aviation for an intro flight. <br /><br />I've come a long way from moving some boxes in the barn and building a rib jig on a folding table. My wife (who is an aviation buff herself) is on board. I now have a friend (Peter) 30 minutes away who is building the same kind of plane and helps me in many ways and the support and wisdom of my Dad who is has been flying various types of aircraft from ultralights on up to Boeing 747's for over 40 years. Not to mention everybody at TEAM and on this forum. I am truly blessed, thank you all.</div>

Folks I've railed against the injustice of modern recreational aviation and how it's all so expensive, etc, etc. I am tired of being a spectator to flight, it's time to be a participant.<br />
<br />
So I've taken the plunge and happily accepted a free set of drawings from TEAM Minimax. I've decided to build the Hi-Max 1700 variant which ideally uses one of a number of Rotax power plants.<br />
<br />
I started building last fall and thus far have about 33 hours of work on this project. My routine is that I go down to the barn in the wee hours before work and put in at least an hour a day cutting and gluing.<br />
<br />
Given my budget (or lack thereof) and available time to work (or lack thereof) I am not overly concerned with project completion. I suspect it will happen one day but I try not to dwell on it. Instead I've learned to embrace the simple joy of building the plane.<br />
<br />
Mornings filled with tunes on the radio, a hot cup of coffee, and the smell of fresh sawn spruce have the cumulative effect of putting a smile on my face for the rest of the day. It's good medicine for a man who dreams of flight. For while I am not yet flying, I am involved in getting there and that counts for something. <br />
<br />
Thus far I've built enough standard ribs for one wing. Which seems like a lot but the time just flys by really. <br />
<br />
A few ribs are special on the High Max for they have to carry the aileron bearing brackets and also act as "end ribs" for the wing. I'll be focusing on these for the next little while.These special ribs require a wider range of skills and tools because they include some metal work. I'll keep you posted.<br />
<br />
I feel my decision to go with <a href="http://www.teammini-max.com/" target="_blank">TEAM</a> has been a very good one. While I've built models over the years and helped my Dad work on real planes some growing up, in a very real sense I am a novice. I wanted to work with folks who are willing to answer questions on the fly. David at TEAM has been very supportive and has made things easier.<br />
<br />
Also the max has an avid builder/owner forum the <a href="http://www.lonesomebuzzards.com/" target="_blank">East Tennessee Lonesome Buzzards</a> and just about any question I could dream up has already been asked on there.<br />
<br />
I'll drop in here from time to time and upload some photo's to let you all know how it goes. <br />

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Folks it has been awhile since I have written about all
things aviation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The truth is money has
been tight and I've just felt that lately folks of humble means like myself
probably can't afford to fly anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Even the ultra-lights are expensive nowadays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The small airports that foster inexpensive
general aviation (if that isn't a contradiction in terms I don’t know what is)
have been closing down one by one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most
of them are turning into cornfields and Wal-Mart shopping centers filled with
products all made in China.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To be honest I've felt just a little depressed about
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the flying bug does not succumb to
reason, logic, or modern trends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
knows only that it craves flight and the vehicles that make flight possible,
the airplane!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So unreasonably I find
myself occasionally Google-ing aircraft companies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sort of vicariously feeding the flying bug
quietly in the only ways left available to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact I was doing just this very thing yesterday when I
came upon the most remarkable thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An
aircraft company GIVING AWAY plans to their planes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes you heard me right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Builders plans free of cost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is unprecedented!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such a gesture of kindness to people like me
that for a moment I was transfixed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is the very change in the industry that I have written about and prayed
for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Companies producing designs for
those of us that earn less than six figures and then providing the construction
drawings free of charge, simply to promote flight!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's this kind of thinking that gives me hope
for the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's this gesture that
makes my flying bug want to build a chrysalis and grow wings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Without further ado I would like to present the well
known Team Mini-Max.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The line of
Mini-Max Aircraft are all wood and cloth aircraft, most are mid wing and some
are high wing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The aircraft have a range
of options, some are Part 103 ultralights and others are robust enough to fall
into the Experimental Amateur Built Category.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Most can be built with an open cockpit or a closed canopy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In all they are a remarkable little line of
aircraft with a very robust builder community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These planes are available in kit form or can be built entirely from
plans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh...and did I mention, the plans
are now FREEEEEE!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Mini-Max designs have all the hallmarks of aircraft for
the next century and they've even raised the bar by offering their plans free
this way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As of this writing they are
the only aircraft on the list to do this, extraordinary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WKpwBTWWlRY/UCkwdT1hcAI/AAAAAAAAAVo/9u_-pgWDPCs/s1600/logo1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="68" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WKpwBTWWlRY/UCkwdT1hcAI/AAAAAAAAAVo/9u_-pgWDPCs/s320/logo1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
A great way to lean Hapkido is to start a club. It's impossible to learn Hapkido alone, you may as well make it a group event. The neat thing about this is you have a willing group of uke's to work with. When a member makes it to black belt they can transition the club to a fully fledged Hapkido School and begin teaching their own students.<br />
<br />
<strong>The rules to your individual club are entirely up to you, it's your club.</strong> <br />
<br />
1. Your club members do not necessarily have to be members of Hapkido Online or THA to practice Hapkido with you, however you can't test them for (Hapkido) Gup rank till you are at least a 1st Dan in Hapkido. <br />
<br />
2. If you have club members that want to gain rank in Hapkido they will be have to be reviewed and tested by me or another one of the teachers at Hapkido Online such as Master Feathers (in the Digital Dojang). Of course any THA instructor can promote your club members as well (if your club members are members of THA).<br />
<br />
3. In other words in order to be promoted, people have to join. Once they join they are exactly like any Hapkido Online member in that they are members and can train and test through Hapkido Online. In a club environment you can all work together to learn the content, it's a heck of a lot of fun and creates a pool of uke's. <br />
<br />
4. <strong>You can charge your own club fees</strong> outside of Hapkido Online to your club members if you desire, that is none of my business.<br />
<br />
5. Once you attain first dan your Hapkido Club can then transition to a fully fledged Hapkido School. Then you are your own school entity and will interface directly with GM Rodemaker regarding your THA affiliate school status. At that point you won't be working through Hapkido Online much anymore, though we can always use member schools.<br />
<br />
6. These rules only apply to Hapkido Online and not necessarily to the Tactical Hapkido Alliance. Your membership and member school status to THA is above me and resides with GM Rodemaker.<br />
