Flitzer building in Montreal

[ronminiatures]

Hi all

I just found this site and enjoy it. I wanted to share my experience and get some critizism! Mainly bad ones! Will get back to building has soon has I have set up the new shop.

I am a first time builder and would like all the help I can get my hands on. Please post anything a rookie can use to help build a wooden aircraft.

I am a good woodworker and AME graduated but never worked has a aircraft mechanic. I am french speaking so please excuse my weird way of talking.

I searched and read all I could on wooden aircraft, EAA, Bengalis, Blue Swallow videos etc...

I would of like more info in video form...but little is available so I figure I would do some videos and people could help out by correcting me. Hopefully it will also incourrage others to build wooden aircraft also.


Here is what I made so far. PLEASE input to make sure I do not propagate bad things! Comments could be made on youtube for future reference. Thanks
