    Hi folks! I'm still alive...

    Yeah, I've been very busy this year, and have just finished the panel design and wiring on our latest plane, a "Waiex" V-tailed low winged monoplane. here are few pix of that unit. It was a real bear wiring that Dynon glass panel, with 155 #22 wires attached to that thing alone! I once wired...

    Christmas portrait

    My Great grandson's Christmas picture: Since their wives were out shopping, my son and Garrett's father decided to get a Christmas picture of the kid, so they went to the mall. The picture studio was crowded and the kid was becoming moody, so they got a bright idea: Since Garrett LOVES...

    Merry Christmas to some really good folks!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! Like many of you good folks, I've seen quite a few Christmases in my relatively long and healthy life, thanks mainly to good genes and fantastic luck: almost nobody in our long recorded family history has died of either cancer or complications from diabetes, etc., but...

    The latest project

    For those who haven't seen our latest project, here are a few pics: This is a "Waiex" all-metal two-seat plane being constructed by Dr. John Gill and myself at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. It has a 120 HP Australian six cylinder opposed engine, and should have a top speed of about 187...

    Winter apology

    I'm sorry about sending all that ice & snow to you good folks back east -- I tried to hold it back, but just wasn't strong enough! That mess is what's left of the storm that dumped a lot of snow in our Colorado mountains. It's still snowing today, with another storm promised for later in the...

    Happy Thanksgiving from Ol' Frank in snowy Colorado

    Yeah, I'm still alive and busier than a crooked politician running for reelection! I'll try to visit this forum more often when time permits. Dr. John Gill and I are building his all-metal Waiex two-seater, and it's coming along nicely -- the fuselage, tail and wings are done and wer'e working...

    Yard Flamingos :clapping:

    YARD FLAMINGOS Did I ever tell you good people about Glo's father's yard flamingos..? About four decades ago, Glo's mother died young from breast cancer, and Freddie soon remarried. His new wife Eleanor was generally regarded as humorless, which naturally prompted me to attempt getting...

    The Most Popular picture...

    This has just been voted the most popular picture from amongst the hundreds sent by Nasa's Mars Rovers -- it's a view that nobody has ever witnessed personally: Sunset on Mars! Just thought you'd like to see it. Thank a merciful God that we live on beautiful Earth! --Ol' Frank

    Snowy day experiment: Growing new hair! :chase:

    Since it's too cold to almost anything else, I thought I'd try to grow hair on my bald dome: I mixed some Rogaine with 5-10-10 garden fertilizer and some ground-up vitamin pills and slopped that mess on my head, wrapped it with a rubber sheet and went to bed last night, little expecting the...

    I told you it snowed here!:surprised:

    These were taken about noon today just outside of our hangar at Jeffco Airport, located about 11 miles north of Wheat Ridge. It was necessary to have the snow removed to put the Aircoupe back in the hangar -- it had been getting a new propeller installed at the mechanic's shop on the other side...

    Another blurb from Ol' Frank!

    PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MY REASON FOR BUILDING AND FLYING AIRPLANES: I started building model airplanes as a young boy -- sometimes they even flew well! My eyesight was bad, requiring glasses to correct nearsightedness, so I didn't play many rough sports -- it was difficult...

    Hey, Rob! Do whatcha wanna do!

    Sorry I didn't get back to your post yesterday, but YES: Us ol' 1920's geezers actually fly those homebuilt contraptions, which are generally constructed much better than most factory airplanes built by hourly-rate employees. Check out the following picture site, which I haven't added to lately...

    Colorado's Front Range

    This was taken from the north side of Jeffco airport in Broomfield, Colorado bout 10:30 AM -- the picture isn't very sharp, but some folks claim that the ol' photographer is in a similar condition! - Regards to all from Ol' Frank

    Ol' Frank's greehouse..

    I built this 9' x 12' greenhouse in the backyard last year -- it's an "Elite" from www.Farmtek.com. The most difficult part was building a 15"-high stone retaining wall on the north side of the yard and then filling the hole with almost 4 yards of dirt because the ground isn't level there. I...

    my photo site

    I haven't updated this site for awhile, but you might want to browse through it: http://photos.toast.net/hezagzr Yeah, I've been busy: I put four 55-gallon drums of water in that greenhouse I built last year (no pics available because they were wiped out when my old computer's hard-drive...

    Remember me..??

    Hey, Good People, I'm ba-a-ack: Yeah, I got my homebuilt airplane flying, and it flies very well! Now my buddy John Gill and I are starting another (all aluminum) plane, a low-wing, two-place V-tailed "Waiex" that should cruise 170MPH at 8000 feet. That's mostly John's baby but I'll assist...
