This blog records the history of Building, Flying and Changing our Fly Baby. The plane is alive and well so this will be an ongoing story. The principals in this story are Ernest and Dennis Harbin. All the family and many friends participated in this adventure. Ernie and Dennis will both make comments in posts. We both saw all this through our own eyes and remember things differently, so you'll get our thoughts and memories.

EAA Gas Welding Class
I've spent this weekend in Virginia Beach practicing welding at the EAA SportAir Workshop. It was good fun and I learned plenty even though I had to learn to weld to get my A & P back in the 70s. I don't weld often so I've been practicing on lots of scrap and some tubing from Lowes. I had lots of questions which I couldn't find answers to on line, in books, or in the EAA welding video. It really was money and time well spent and good fun. Now I'm ready to see what I can do with welding aluminum. With any luck I may be able to weld my gas tank my self. We'll see how I do on some other Items I'm making from the same aluminum.
