And thus, it begins. The afterschool student members have started building the practice rudder for the upcoming Zenith CH650B Zodiac build. They start with a review of the assembly docs and prints, prep the parts, dry fitting to ensure the assembly makes sense. Then, measure 3x, mark, and make the first cut.
Like Christmas in April. We’ve purchase our initial consumables (drills, debur tools) and hand tools to get the shop set up and ready for the pending Zenith delivery. Kept the students busy this evening inventorying, unpacking, assembling, organizing…. All a part of the process. Also have set up a Builders Log in the EAA to start recording expenses and activities.
