Back in March, I gave a presentation on the Full Scale Falcon project at the local chapter of Pecha Kucha here in Nashville. If you’re not familiar with Pecha Kucha, it’s a rapid-fire presentation format where you get 20 slides, and 20 seconds to spend on each slide. You submit your slides the day before, and they are automatically advanced during your show. So, it really goes by fast. Normally when I give a presentation on the project, I have over 100 slides and spend over an hour on it. Doing it in under 7 minutes was a real challenge, but still great fun.

Here’s the video of the talk:

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

Hi Gang,

It has been raining all weekend and I’ve been unable to do anything…  UGH…  Sorry…

THEY FIT!

March 16, 2013 in Cockpit, General, Interior

Hi Gang,

Well… I finally got those pesky side panels skinned and they fit like a glove!  I’m prepping them with filler and paint and hope to have them pinstriped by tomorrow!
