    Whoa Nellie! Now that's some project. By all accounts, the 250ex is a very good machine. I don't have any doubts - you will love it's performance. Oleg, the green team, and the people on this forum are great too. Welcome to the forum. Can't wait to hear more about your project. Cheers!
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    I thought it was pretty decent sitting on the card board boxes.... Then I seen the ironing board.... Oh no....

    BTW it does look nice...

    Years ago I made a delivery to a house in a very residential area. Old timer steps out and I see a home built plane in his 2 car garage. He said it just needs a couple things to finish. He was getting to old to finish it. He would let it go cheap to see it fly. I looked and had to run away fast... Last thing I need is a plane. Sure looked sweet with the beautiful varnished prop.

    I had a friend come over to help check the wing fit and the boxes were just the first thing i grabbed.As for the ironing board...well that's the most action it has seen in years! lol

    As you have seen,You never know what kind of projects you will see in the wild.Like the old timer i just wont to finisher her and get air under the tires.Been building it on and off for a little over 4 years and its slowly coming to an end.

    p.s. I have 2 planes in my 2 car garage!

    I really like them and always wanted one. I use to read all the kit plane mags (15 years ago) but I may be a little too big for an ultralite at 6'3" 307 lb. I've never flown in anything but a helicopter... maybe one day.
