In 2020 and 2021, I began exploring building an airplane from a kit. This is something I dreamed of doing since I was a teenager, and I finally decided to do it. After exploring a number of options, including Kitfox, Zenair, and Vans, I purchased a second-hand Zenair to fly while waiting for shipment of and building a Rans S-21 Outbound plane. Due to COVID-19 delays, it took quite a while to actually receive the kit, but in November 2021, I finally received shipment.

It came in 3 large boxes. Here is the crane unloading the largest box from the truck:

Now we just need to inventory and organize the whole thing and we are ready to start building.
