2011 Visitors
October 10 & 11, 2011: Nick stopped by on his way from Charlotte, SC to Los Angeles, CA. He was delivering a LongEze he had been modifying for the past 2-years. We had a GREAT time sightseeing in San Francisco, even though it was drizzly all day. Here is where we visited during the six hours we spent sightseeing:
- Went to the city using BART
- Ferry Building
- Hiked up to Coit Tower
- Fisherman's Wharf
- Museum Mechanique (museum of historic arcade machines)
- National Maritime museum (both Hyde street pier and the visitor's center)
- Ghiradelli Square (had to get a free sample of chocolate!)
- Fort Mason
- Dinner at Scoma's
- Met Kevin (another Cozy builder) after dinner and took a ride in his Nisson Leaf
We had a GREAT time!
2010 Visitors
August 17, 2010: Peter has an interest in building his own airplane. He had been researching various designs when he came across a *website* which shows the location of many canard builders on a map of the USA. He noticed that I was building a Cozy and was in the San Francisco Bay Area. He then sent me an EMAIL and requested to look at my project as the Cozy is one of the planes he is considering.
This is a picture of him on the day he came over to look at my project. Good luck Peter in finding a fun airplane to build!
July 24, 2010: Dawn, the daughter of Jeff & Dee Dee, came over to look at my project. Her husband had stopped by last December to see it (see Brian below) and she has been curious as to what it looked like.
April 8, 2010: Don flew in from Columbia, California, in his Long-Eze. He had never seen a canard project under construction and was curious to see what mine looked like. He also wanted to discuss the status of the program line-up for the annual Canards West Fly-in for which I am the program coordinator and he is the organizer.
February 22, 2010: Bob stops by to check out the project. Notice the plane has the beginings of a nose. Also, the rudder pedals are present.
