Hi Tribe:
Made it to the factory, everything is pretty much the same. He was working on a couple of older T-Craft, doing restortation work. And was actualling starting my T-Craft by pulling all the tubing and hopefully starting some welding. But he has lot to go. He does have a few Engine Mounts. Didn't see any wings started, or landing gears. Needs lots of sub groups to be built. No fabric work being done.
I wish him all the best. He is suppose to have the FAA in again today (Wed.) to inspect and give approval on the new fuel tanks.
He appears to have about eight or ten employees working in the factory. The A & P School seems to be going well and looks like will get off the ground soon. They have the support of the local Community College.
I didn't stay but a few hours when I saw that no new aircrafts were actualling being built at this time. Don't know if I will be able to wait as long as may be necessary. I truly believe that he will be building NEW Aircrafts and restoring older ones. Also providing many new and NOS parts that is available. He is planning on installing Hyd brakes and SS firewalls on the Taylor Sport.
I know they have been working and trying to get things going, and will start as soon as they can. Also, I am certain there is lots more I was not able to see or have the time to cover.
As I was leaving a fellow from Iowa was in to look and possible purchase a new Taylor Sport. But, he is like me, OLDER and doesn't have lots of time to wait.
