A visitorWorking on a plane with your garage door open can be inviting for passers-by. They get quite a lot of visitors...

Among those visitors, a couple building a plane with canard wings (they have been on their projet for three years). They were quite impressed to see the work accomplished here in a few months.

Of course, it all depends on the time and energy invested but Luc and Christian who received their kit at the end of March think their work on the main parts will be over in about two weeks.

They foresee a first assembly test of the landing gear, wings and tail assembly on the fuselage by the end of September. This work will most probably be carried out in Luc's driveway. The end result should be spectacular.
