Tundra kits in progress   KEN GIFFORD - Appleton, WI, USA Ken Gifford is from Appleton WI, just North of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  He visited us during AirVenture 2005 in Oshkosh and took the TUNDRA up for a demo flight.  Ken was pleased with the flight and the TUNDRA's rugged construction and ordred a tail kit in August 2005, right after the AirVenture show.  Following are some pictures of Ken's assembly progress. Rudder parts pre-assembled on clecos. Horizontal stabiliser structure all riveted together. Elevators structures riveted and ready for the skins. Vertical stabiliser and rudder completely assembled.

JIM KINNINGER - Wellington, NV, USA Mr. Kinninger came to the DreamAicraft factory in late October 2006 to take advantage of the first builder assist program to be given at the DreamAircraft factory. This builder assist program allowed Mr. Kinninger to complete his TUNDRA airframe in two weeks.  In the few weeks before coming to the factory, Jim was having his hangar built in Nevada.  Here are some great pictures of the hangar and the beautiful countryside where his TUNDRA now resides. This surely is beautiful country and I think the TUNDRA will feel right at home in this rugged terrain...
