Thanks for sharing. I went school and got my A&P license and worked for a regional airline for a few years. Left the industry for more money but still love being around aircraft.
How strange, over the last few days I started to wonder about building one of these and have suddenly come across this video, and it's only 2 weeks old! I'm going to follow this build very closely.
Hello flyfalcons, Built Tiger-moth 31 over period of 7 yrs in my garage as you are. Best tool in the shop was my stool! What do the plans want & how am I going to accomplish it. Enjoyed the build process & enjoyed the "courtship' of learning to fly it well over several years. Can't have too many clamps or too much light . There's nothing you can do that you can't back up & do over! Enjoy the build it's worth it Whiskey Mike
Thanks! FFP has gone through some changes lately, and my wing and fuselage kits are finally in production. Looking forward to getting back to the build.
I finally got the full fuselage/wing kit delivered after a loooooong wait. I have to take care of a couple things on my bench, then it's time to start banging out all 52 ribs and 48 false ribs.

Looking forward to the next video. This is the plane that I thought, 15 years ago, would be my first plane… but it might end up being my 3rd.
This is going to be fun. Thanks for bringing us along!
Very well done Sir!
Now THAT is a handsome garage. None of that 'automotive' junk cluttering stuff up ;)
cna't wait to see the next update!
nice work, looked at building a Fisher 'fly baby' think that is what it was years ago ... rob NZ

Have you gotten any further along on the Tiger Moth?

any updates?
Life has been keeping me really busy and out of the shop, hopefully after the holidays I'll be getting to work on the wings.
