Got to Glasair at 7:00 in the morning and met everyone and was given a tour of their facility-very impressive-most of their components are built in house or are in the process of being brought in house. It's nice to see American products being built by American workers.
Am extremely impressed by the organization set up for the build. Every task has written instructions, a complete set of pictures and a complete bill of materials of all parts required. All the parts for a task are already sorted into a plastic parts bin and you don't have to go searching for anything.
The mechanics that we're working with are top notch (Ben, shop foreman-Joe and Justin, wing specialists-Devin, rear empennage' (tail section)-Mike, engine and cabin compartment). These guys are very knowledgeable and willing to share their knowledge and are fun to work with too.
