Isaac Shultz's Sonex Project

The days leading up to my scheduled first engine start were very hectic, I had only a few tasks to complete but I kept finding that one part that didn't get ordered and of course I kept myself busy checking, rechecking, and tripple checking anything that could go wrong on the big day. I tested out a Facebook livestream and found that I had the wrong browser type and it wouldn't livestream unless I downloaded their stupid app. Then I tried using YouTube to capture the moment my engine would come to life, but YouTube doesn't give small channels like mine access to all the features like livestreaming.  I found the answer to all my problems: Twitch. Twitch is actually designed for people to watch others play video games but I discovered that it is actually very versatile. It did everything I wanted it to do and had the capability to do much more if I ever wanted to play with all the fancy features.  So I had my engine almost done, it was waiting on one little AN6 Ni

While I was waiting on my last few parts to arrive before starting the engine, I did some spring cleaning on the garage. I blew all the dust out and in preparation for working on the tail, rearranged some of the stuff to allow for the extra length the stab adds. While the plane was out on the lawn, I was able to get some killer pictures. I don't really have enough work done to do a proper write up but I did at least get the horizontal stabilizer bolted on.  The first engine start got pushed back because I was waiting on parts in the mail. Now everything has come together and I'm ready for first the engine start but I'm going to keep working on the tail in the meantime. So I will be livestreaming the start up Tuesday afternoon April 7th. I will post a link to my account on a website called twitch. It is super easy to use all you have to do is click it. No account, no log in, no download. You can watch on your computer or mobile device. If you can't
