N733YD new home nearing completion

The strip (1SC1, 1200 feet of grass) will be fully ready this spring as well. Looking forward to getting up in the morning, pushing that hanger door button and going flying.  Hope to see some of you at SunNFun this spring. …

Build Progress!

After an extended period of being away, I am back and building once again! 

Completed the top skin and will go through the other 3 to make sure all is ready to go to put them together. 

I'm contemplating putting an access panel on the right side for easier inspection of the rear including the 3 gal fuel tank if I go the viking engine way.

A few pieces here and there, getting ready for the aft fuse assembly.

Merry Christmas to…
