The Shop

The shop is fairly well equipped. We have installed a 60 gal. air compressor. Also installed worktop benches and purchased a drill press and grinder. We have also installed a 52” sheet metal shear and 48” pan bending brake. We continue to purchased various air tools, etc.

The picture to the left shows the door to our offices. The plane is being built in a building that also houses our business. And of coarse no shop is complete without an entertainment center, old Persian rug and a pair of “hangar chairs”.

These pieces and parts are waiting their turn. The cowling, canopy bubble, ailerons, flaps and associated fairings sit patiently on the shelves high above the Olathe F1 Launch Facility Shop.
