The QSP "Babies"...
Our Cloverdale Hangar has seen the "birth" of quite a few new aircraft over the last few years. Some of these were started here; others were completed here after having been started elsewhere... The good news is that all these planes took to the air over Sonoma county, bringing smiles and a great sense of accomplishment to their proud new "parents". These planes are now hangared and flown far and wide throughout the west (even Hawaii). We are very grateful to every owner for the opportunity to participate in this experience; to all others, call us too if you are interested in building your own plane in California...
