My Airplane Factory
I was a retired automotive test engineer.  I took an early retirement offer after working 34+ years for one of the "big 3".

I am single and have worked for 2 more companys.  The economy has taken its toll on all of us.  I am retired again and looking forward to new adventures.

The airplane is a Zenith CH-701.  It is an all aluminum, high wing two place airplane that meets the new sport plane rules.  I plan on putting a 1.3L 16 valve Chevrolet Metro engine in it with a Raven Redrive.

I started building in November of 2003.  My pictures are a random selection of my work from then until now.  I will post updates as I go along.

This site is an experiment for me.  So I will be changing it as I learn how to do more.

3/14/2009 Update - I have to confess that I have made little progress on my 701 since the divorce.  I am now retired again and hope to get with it.
