A Summary of my Earnings

I have been working hard since summer to earn money. I have numerous projects in progress. I have been mowing and raking yards, and am in the process of finding new customers. Eating chocolate dipped strawberries is always fun, but they are so expensive that you only get one or two. Come summer I will be selling them locally, and at a great price. I always have extra free time at the gym, so I've been detailing cars. I'm still adding new customers and will soon be up to several jobs per week. I have recently set my sights on a new endeavor, one that uses the same skills I'm already practicing, and I think it may be really popular."

Lawn care, car detailing, berries and my upcoming Secret Project are all adding money towards my goal. I hope y'all get a good idea of how hard I am working to complete my vision. Thank you so much to all of those who have donated to me, I really appreciate it.

Build Update April 5 2018: Dissasembling the Aerovee

The engine I bought was already built, and had not been run. My dad and I planned to take it all apart to give me a better understanding of the engine, as well as to identify any problems before they got bad. The Arovee engine was heavy and awkward to move. at the time it was sitting on the workbench with everything installed. Going into this I had only enough sense to tell you which cylinder is the #1, 2, 3, and 4, and I knew some of the terminology, such as crackshaft. I frequently asked my dad "what do you call that part?" we began unbolting stuff in roughly reverse order from the manual (if you're familiar with sonex plans, you're used to backwards) In under an hour we had stripped many of the external parts off and the engine had lost at least 20 pounds! A box was designated as the hardware box, so it'll be like legos trying to find the right bolts and nuts again when I reassemble it. the important part is that they're all together and no...

Plane Painted

When I flew my plane to OSH23, I saw an artist painting a small depiction of an airplane. She was painting a very small photorealistic scene from a phone image. I could not believe how detailed she was able to make it! She let me watch over he shoulder as she worked. I was so impressed that I commisisoned a similar painting of my sonex. Id like to share that painting with you all. Her name is Rhonda DeGarmo. She has a lot of other work. If you're interested in getting in touch with her please reach out to me and I will pass along her information.

Very loose build update

It is full swing gymnastics meet season, and I'm working extra hard on schoolwork to make up for the time I'm away at gymnastics meets, and I'm building and flying whenever possible. With that all on my plate there is very little time for writing, but I will give a overview of what I've accomplished. I built the side walls of the forward fuselage: I have purchased an engine from a fellow sonex builder and member of my EAA chapter (the four cylinder 80HP Aerovee) And I have set to work building the Forward Fuselage box I will flesh out this post in the future as soon as I can, if you are considering going to Sun'n'Fun this year is the best to go, I will be giving an hour talk at the forums all about the unique challenges of being a teen balancing all my various spinning plates, and still making time for aviation and building my plane. I'd love to see you all at Sun'n'Fun! Thanks! (this is a short pos...
