Particularly if they are spouses.<;-))
Probably about half of those projects are pretty well along with at
least 3 if not 4 or 5 are in the final assembly stage. I think that
is the 90% done, 90% to go part.
There is a turbocharged Glasair III that is almost ready to fly, a
Super II that is in final assembly. The 4-passenger version of the
longEZ (cannot seem to remember the name of that one) is also in final
assembly. The two Sonex are in final assembly. There are at least 7
or 8 projects already flying in addition to those 17.
