OK, here is a quick hint. Got cats at home? What can you do with old kitty litter containers? Why, make Cleco holders of course!

Building other stuff….
OK. when you start building your RV-9A, you discover very quickly what OTHER stuff you need to build first. How about the best plane building workbenches ever? Check out the bench and the plans for the EAA Chapter 1000 work bench at: http://www.eaa1000.av.org/technicl/worktabl/worktabl.htm
Note that you do not need to follow the plans EXACTLY. I made a long table and a short table, so I needed to buy only ONE sheet of plywood. Actually, later I bought another sheet to have on top, so I could drill, cut, mar and generally abuse the top, then just give it to the next builder and get another. Here is what that looks like:
Getting the Blog Started!
Greetings Friends!
Well, after two and a half years of building, I’m finally building the blog! I’m Dave of Tom and Dave and we are building a 2 seater experimental airplane. Since there are thousands of these planes flying, I believe it is more accurate to say we are assembling an aircraft. This is an aluminum design, with a standard aircraft engine with a cruise speed in the 180mph range (we hope). The plane is a Van’s Aircraft RV-9A. This is an aluminum, two-seater side-by-side cross-country plane with a 160 hp engine. Check out the factory at www.vansaircraft.com
So, how does all this start? With a little aluminum.
