Ed,
Door looks really good.
I know what you mean about the temps. Been really hot
lately.
I was in SC 2 weeks ago. Had to do an annual
conditional inspection on the plane, and then flew
early Sunday morning. Was still 75 or so on take off,
but had a great flight. About an hour, and air was
very smooth. Plane is running well, so I'll plan on
bringing it back to NC on my next trip down.
I have a 3 day weekend this weekend, but the weather
doesn't look too good. May even wait until September
when it gets a little cooler before I bring it up.

Hi Steve,
Yes, I used Bruce's video as well - help me a great
deal. DVD format may appeal to some folks. I know I spent hours sitting
in bed with laptop on my lap typing a check list as I reviewed Bruce's Video.
Here's a photo of the progress on the hangar door
structure to date. Only working in the mornings as it just gets too hot
around 1:00 PM. The door (looks like shed roof) will have sheeting applied
then stood on its side to attach to the header beam. Only weighs approx 300
lbs at this point. The beam ended up weighing approx 185 lbs.
I can't fly until I get the door done, so some
incentive there - but too hot to really enjoy flying in any case.
