Some people were having problems where clicking on an image wouldn’t show the larger version. A fix has been put in place. If anyone is still having trouble, please contact me so I can look into your specific issue. Thanks!

Got my flight instructor renewed today!

Spent a couple of hours with a highly qualified FAA designated examiner this morning and got my CFII reinstated (as well as a BFR and checkout to rent the plane)! I am thinking of easing back into some light flight instruction as a way to keep my skills sharp.

Holy Oshkosh! What a show

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:59:59 +0000

Hi all!

I just returned from EAA Airventure Oshkosh and it was INCREDIBLE!

Preparations for this year’s show had me overwhelmingly busy but now that it has ended I am looking forward to sharing my experience with you and working to make ExperCraft an even more valuable and efficient resource for completing and flying your aircraft.

I will be in touch soon!

ExperCraft is still available for free, too!

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:15:39 +0000

ExperCraft is still available as a completely free service to aircraft builders. A basic version which provides the convenience and efficiency of an on line project log is available using this link. Anybody can sign up to use the free version. It is not a trail version and it does not expire – use it to log your entire aircraft project. Enjoy!

Fast Track Edition features announced

admin — Wed, 12 May 2010 15:44:14 +0000

Hi Builders! The ExperCraft Fast Track Edition is the top level of service that ExperCraft provides. It is not yet available but when it launches later this Spring time it will include enhancements and features designed to increase your productivity and speed you toward your first flight.

A recent poll of ExperCraft users showed that time and money are the number one factors that get in the way of your project completion. Many builders have let me know that they have saved time and even money on their projects by using ExperCraft.

I’ll be building on the concept of saving time and money by tailoring all new features and services toward that end. Watch for press releases and announcements in the coming weeks and months. Most importantly, get in those building hours and log your progress using ExperCraft!

Our partners over at General Aviation News have been doing a series of articles about builders using the ExperCraft Simple Log system to record their project progress. These fantastic articles highlight the personal stories behind the projects and remind us that we all face similar challenges when building our aircraft.

New Kit Partner: Lockwood Aircraft Corp

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:16:52 +0000

I spoke with the president of Lockwood Aircraft today. We are going to be working together to bring ExperCraft to the builders of his fine kit airplanes. I’m looking forward to learning more about the incredible Air Cam!

This brings the number of ExperCraft partner kit companies to 11! Awesome!

Enhancements continue

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:14:23 +0000

I’ve been working behind the scenes mostly. Last week was more minor bug fixing on ExperCraft after the major release. This week has been more typo fixing (thanks to my wife’s keen eye along with a couple of observant site visitors!). I’ve also been quietly finishing new features and functionality to make finding and viewing projects more accessible. Stay tuned for press releases and announcements covering those topics.
