The Sirius Project

A Replica Adventure

​This is a project website covering the construction of a historic aircraft replica and my plans to recreate the epic flight Charles Lindbergh took in his Lockheed Sirius. Check out the history, my blog, and the construction log.

Update

This week youtube slowed down a bit but still I got some new subscribers, posted a new video and it got some views and most importantly I finally saw some earnings. Not much. I think I'm up to 20 cents. Woo hoo. Well, gotta start some where. I got diaphragm 6 out of the jig, cut off the loose tails and started sanding. It looks pretty good but is not down to size yet. In an attempt to get ahead of the game for my weekly video for next week I made a machinist's jack in the shop on Sunday. It turned out ok but I will remake the bolt to eliminate the slop in it. It should only take an hour as I now know how to do it. After that I can work on the diaphragm all week. I should have enough material on that to make next weeks video.
