The USPS finally got on the ball after Tom filed a claim on the plans he sent me. I received them a little over a week ago. It took over 6 weeks for me to get them.
Thanks Tom for staying on their case.

Still Counting The Days
Well, Tom sent me the plans like we planned. Then USPS messed up and misplaced them. Now, patients is the virtue that must be used.

Ultracruiser Asperations
Cross your fingers. Less than a day left on my eBay auction. I have a line on a set of plans from someone who chose not to build.

Fw:LETTER
| Letter from Procter & Gamble Exec to Obama
Please read, even if you are an Obama fan. It is legitimate, written by respected, Lou Prichett, formerly of Proctor and Gamble. Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America 's true living legends- an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the foremost leader in change management. Lou changed the way
America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history.
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Lou Pritchett
TRUE - CHECK: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.asp
This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it. Big surprise! Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits. Keep it going.. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing. It's happening right now.

Ultracruiser On The Brain
You know, I keep coming back to this plane. First, it is all aluminum. Second, it has the easiest to ship materials. Also, It would survive a long build time without major issues.
It being an all aluminum plane is a great plus. It will be more durable in a lot of ways. Plus I have sheet metal experience. I also have woodworking experience as well, but most planes I've looked at require more cost in materials. If not because of the price of the woods and clothe, then because of the shipping cost to get them here.
The shipping is always a consideration. I know many a plane that would be a lot less expensive if you didn't have to pay freight level shipping because of the length of the aluminum tubing.
Build time is always a consideration. I will be doing it a little at a time as the wallet will allow the purchase of materials.
I'll probably post regularly on the progress if I can get started by finding a good used set of plans. I can't afford new at this time.
Anyone out there have a set that they will let go of for a deeply discounted price?
