So been long time since last up date.
I'm continuing with my supplements. Energy still through the roof, I have been biking, minimum 10 miles every day most days 15 - 20 miles longest ride 35 miles.
I get out by 7:30 back by 10 when its getting hot.

Now that August is here we are seeing temps in the 100s, 116 forecast today tomorrow. So riding just not possible, today 79 at 5am.

I was pleasantly surprised after 35 mile bike ride, I had expected to be sore after but was not, even the next day I rode 22 miles.

I'm planning on bikepaking this fall when it cools off. I will ride out to Ocala Nation Forest from home and do some dispersed camping. It's 17 miles from home to Rodman Reservoir,
I have trip planned to Hopkins Prairie 52 miles one way, likely stretch it 4 days,

Working on my gear packing,

Bottom line I have not felt this good in can't remember maybe 30-40s. When the majority of people my age taking 11 RX daily plus OTC Meds.I'm on none!

ECOTRIC Fat 20 Folding Ebike

So much fun to ride can not wait to get out int forest and do some Bikepacking!

Finished mounting Rotax Engine I installed studs and rubber vibration mounts.



Completing some of the flight controls.







I'm working on flight controls, I need to get that worked out so I know where to mount some of the engine components as not to interfear. Rotax is oil injected, water cooled so I must mount radiator, coolent tank and oil tank. I was hopping to go with Air cooled Rotax, I do not like mixing oil / gas, so oil injected little extra weight with water cooling still hoping for Part 103 outcome.

Little extra power from Rotax 467 can't hurt over the 447. And I got great deal on the 467 as it was complete engine less redrive.

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.
