Haven't figured out how to trailer Goat quite yet ... I cheated and used the open structure as fair game for lashing ;-)

Actually doing some work
It may not be a glamerous part, but its a flight piece.

A new home for Goat
Still without internet access, I'm posting via my phone to keep up a monthly post. Goat has moved to a nice large basement area with access to more than one tool at a time. I even bought a whole bunch of nice oak ply sheets to make a sturdy and true table for constructing the wings. There is of course some setup to go still before being back on real Goat construction, but the next project (other than fixing the occasional water heater and lousy hvac system) is the airchair. I have renewed confidence in both the design and my skills after watching the ground loop in last post's video. This just might work :-)

New Goat video online ... and a move
I recently came across a new Bug (son of Goat) video, showing some auto-towing at Soggy Dry Lake: http://www.vimeo.com/21046038. Thanks to the San Bernardino fliers!
In other news, I'm moving over the next couple of weeks to a place with a dedicated hanger (okay, basement and garage) for my Goat project. Expect to see some renewed progress over the summer!
Progress is slow, but coming.
