Tradition (and the FAA) demands some sort of log of the build process.  This is most often a photo album with notes of a few key dimensions, s/n's, etc..  Some intrepid individuals moved their logs to the web in the mid-90's, and I learned much by following their exploits.  This diary builds on that updated tradition, and I hope you'll find it entertaining, or perhaps even useful.
