 |
|
I just wrapped up my first week building at my plane's
new home, First Light Aviation Group (FLAG) in
Livermore, CA. What a difference. When I was
building at home, I was always prone to distractions,
the phone, the computer, my wife, etc. This past week
building at FLAG, I got a lot more done, quicker and
easier. Besides being a dedicated work space, FLAG
has large tools that I'd never used before like a
break and shear. WOW, what a difference the right
tools make. I re-made the canopy front side covers
(6C3-6) five different times to get the fit right. At
home, this would have taken me at least an hour for
each one. Using the shear and brake cut the
fabrication time down to 6 minutes and they look so
much better. And having other builders there gives me
someone to bounce ideas off of. I wish I had started
my project at this facility, I'd be flying by now.
