Hello Mark from Chattanooga, TN! I'm getting my shop back in "airplane shape" for my EX-3 build also. So glad you are getting to do this. It's a great experience and the thrill of taking off in the airplane you built and that you know every detail about cannot be described. You just have to experience it. My kit arrives end of December so we should not be too far apart. We will share a lot I hope. You might consider using the empty crate as a workbench/storage area like Mr Hank Kemmer did in Crossville, TN. He built a bench the full length of the crate, installed overhead lights and it was the most beautiful sight you could imagine for a gigantic wooden crate that was headed for the scrap. See you in the sky soon!!
