I relize at my age this is very ambisuis undertaking. But I always seem to need a project to be working on. I'm learning to fly, studying at home and online for Sport Pilot so that i can fly in the Ultra light class. My Hornet will be in FAA PART 103, which will not require any registration or lisense to fly. But many hours of instructor training is needed to fly safely.

This project will take several years to complete, Of coarse if I was younger had more money it could be done fairly quickly. But that is not my situation. In the process now of gathering knowledge and materials. I have some Aluminum and have started cutting and layout of the Air Frame. When the main components are fabracited it will start to look like something but will be far from complete. The Air Frame is reletively easy. Flight controls and mechanical systems will take some time.

Laying out Airframe



Pre-Assembly of air frame



Center holes for compression struts.



Test fitting landing gear



Mockup Rotax engine and flight insterments



I hope to get around to making a page just for the build.

Well I have been awol from camping and outdoor activities. I'ts just been to hot, heat index 105-111 actual temps 94-98 humidities 80- 90+%. I have just been hanging in the AC.

I have been in the shop with the AC on working on my Hornet Gyro.

Cleaning out old junk, gathering up and orginizing all aluminum from the antenna manufactruing. Getting all pieces I started years ago together.

Just moved around some machines, cleaned in some deep corners only accesable by moving machines. Very challenging with daily Thunderstorms I must start early difficult to move stuff outside.

Yes the powers to be have decided we can now safely go back in the Forest.

What a joke out in the forest is probally the safest place to be in Plan-Demic. Your far from anybody unless it's the Squirl, or Deer or maybe the Bear flu.

But now that we missed some of the best ;tent camping season, it's just to dam hot to be out. Been in mid 90's no rain just plain HOT!

Categorical Exclusion Statement Ocala National Forest

March 27, 2020
Project Title: Ocala National Forest Recreation Sites Emergency Closure Order

Project Description: The Ocala National Forest proposes to restrict public recreational activities and opportunities including, but not limited to: hiking, fishing, OHV, bicycling, equestrian activities, picnicking, loitering, paddle-craft, motorized watercraft/airboats, swimming, and camping.

Hunting (as determined by State of Florida laws, permits, and WMA access) may be allowable on a case-by-case basis with valid permits. These prohibitions are to protect the general public and agency employees’ health and safety in accordance with current CDC guidelines for social distancing.

Expiration: JULY 24, 2020. Location: All developed, non-developed, dispersed, and contracted/permitted recreation sites and facilities, including roads and trails on the Ocala National
Forest in Florida.

So it looks like the only place our Government thinks it's safe for us to go or be at is the Grocery Store Where EVERYBODE ELSE GOES.

WHAT IS THE MOTIVE FOR THIS HOAX! We are losing our rights.
