Big News!
RB Aero is moving!
After 3 and a half years on a waiting list, we have a hangar! We will begin
renting a hangar at Livermore Airport on September 26th. Needless to say,
both Chuck and I are pretty excited.

Future home of RB Aero!
This represents a new stage for us and the timing is pretty good. We are assembling
a 6 foot long wooden wing section which will serve as a "plug" for making the wing molds.

This 6 foot long wing section will be covered with a thin birch plywood skin. It will be
covered with a single layer of fiberglass and then finshed to mirror smoothness (well almost!).
This part will serve as a "plug" from which the top and bottom wing skin molds will be created.
My garage, "Center Street Hangar" was getting a bit tight since the parts we are now
making are getting bigger and pretty soon we were going to have to put the pieces
together. We figured that we could complete the wings in my garage, but after that we
were going to have problems. Now we will be able to make the wings and forward
fuselage in a real hanger.
Another advantage will be having the help and expertise from our hanger neighbors,
most of which are EAA 663 (Livermore's local Experimental Aircraft Association
chapter) members. So we think that the timing couldn't be much better!
