I"ve been a welder/fabricator for over 30yrs I'd love to build an ultralight from scratch it looks simple enough.

Mr. Wolfe completes the entire build in his basement and is excited to show his wife. "Honey, come check it out!!!" he gleefully shouts with pride. She casually walks down, gives one walk around the plane and then asks a very important question: "That's great, but how the hell are you going to get it through the doorway?!"

Looks great Pat. I just found this. Subbed to follow. Im 80 now and miss flying. Would love one of these. Have the skills and a history of Alaska bush tail dragger flying Trained in a Luscomb 8 A loved it n bought it. Had a couple others including PA 18 converted to tail dragger and built a couple. Built A Ken Rand KR 2. Im old busted up and poor on SS but could afford to build this. There's a new skin cloth pre colored and waaaaay easier and superior strength. Just can't remember the brand name. Dam. Didn't check when you started this. Probably flying it by now? I'll still follow it though. What I see in this first part looks really good. I'd be delirious to snag a pair of Kolb wings.( Actually I would rather have a Kolb more than any other. No propwash and bugs in your face. Haha) Dandahermit

Good job. Can the airframe be Mig welded or does it have to be braze welded? Smart, you skipped the most labor intensive part building the wooden ribs etc and bought aluminum wings complete. I think possibly more cost effective as they will last many years beyond wooded wings although more expensive initially. Thanks!

I bought me the legal eagle XL kit directly from Leonard at his home in Brookshire, Texas. I haven’t started building it yet. I need a welder or I need to learn how to weld. Can you tell me where you bought all your materials from please? I’d like to start buying things n little by little gather all necessary pieces so I can start. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thx!

Hydraulic jacks. See, you just lift the house up and slip it out. Let the house back down before your wife gets back from the grocery store.

Could there be a galvanic corrosion issue in the future with aluminum gussets and stainless steel pop rivets? (at around 3:41 time)
