Thanks for posting the link Lyman (Tony, click on "project" for build progress)
I too am building in a one car garage..not ideal, but so far "doable". My intention is to build components, move them to a hanger, then assemble them there. I'm building the fuselage now (firewall back). Once that is up to covering stage I'll move it, and start on wings.

What's the story on the upside down cub on your page?

Well....I bought the cub to get a tailwheel endorsement and experience so that someday I'd be prepared for a biplane. Well I ended up enjoying the cub so much that I sorta dropped the biplane idea. One incidence later and I'm a hatz builder! curiously enough, I'm not allowed to fix a certified airplane, but FAA will allow me to build one from scratch...so, that's what I'm doing. (since I'm not an A&P) Long story short on the cub...use a simulated hard deck to practice engine outs.
