Portland, Oregon is frequently hit by bad winter weather. 2008 was no exception. Over 4 feet of snow fell at the Sandy River Airport, and although this did not directly create a problem, it did delay the work on the airplane. Then the warm rains came, the snow load on the hangar roof went up way past design limits, and the hangar roof collapsed!
Not completely, however, and the airplane escaped damage. But the work has now stopped until a new hangar can be arranged. So the enterprising team at Aviation Research arranged a short term lease on some adjacent undamaged buildings, the airplane was moved, and the work started again.
