First flight was on November 17, '01 by mistake. The plane flies very well and I have since taken much more enjoyable "planned" flights. Looking over the wings in flight is like living a dream.

Having just purchased a new insulated 1000 sq ft workshop, I am now at the materials ordering stage. This is my first homebuilt and, as a Canadian plan to build it with the "Canuck" vertical stabilizer and rudder. If any of you Jenny builders can offer tips for me as I begin to jig up the fuselage I would be greatful.
