Hmmm gonna try this again....first Novel didn't post..
Me_flyboy is just a name I thought of quickly...
as flying has been my passion ever since I could first flap my wings... but I got my start years later.
I joined a German Glider club, when I was (US ARMY) stationed in Germany in 1963 -65, probably before many of you were born.... (same place actor Bruce Willis was born)
I recently decided to build my own aircraft, since "LIFE" is no longer getting in my way, and I'm free to do so.
I'm building under the U.S.Ultralight category, which gives me carte blanch to build anything I want, as long as it weighs no more than 254 pounds empty.
I start on the wings next week, when the spruce lumber is delivered.
I ordered bulk lumber and will do the milling to size, myself. And even though half of what I bought,
will end up as waste and become mulch for my garden, it is still less expensive than ordering the
pieces cut to size.
At this point in time, my fuselage looks very similar to the photo above,
but without the wings, or pilot...

edit:
OK the image didn't post??
I used the same procedure as for the bullets pic.
