    What a beautiful gleaming machine, in a beautiful gleaming workshop! How do you keep everything so clean?!

    Thats no problem πŸ™‚ Every day in the evening the team cleans up the shop. Every team-member is responsible for his workingplace.

    Safety first, so no tools on the ground, only the tools you use in this second are out of the tool-box. All parts not used are stored in a seperate area and so on. When the shop closes the team is checking their toolboxes (every teammember has his own). If there is a tool missing, there is a little problem for the teammember. No oil ore other liquids on the ground, no drinking or eating at the plane (threre is a perfect restroom).
    As you might know, the shop works after EASA-rules and they are very hard. Elmar Meier, CEO and technical head looks “every second” after that and of course he is not amused when someone works against that rules.

    Yes its typical German and its all ruled with LBA-Bulletins (the German FAA).
    In the shop its like in a clinik and thats perfect. No part is missing, all tools at their place and so the team can work without disturbance or searching “this and that”.

    So to answer your question is easy. Everyone does it to keep the shop clean and safe. Of course the guys are very proud of that facility and they want to keep it in perfect

    Do you know what the paint scheme will be and the aircraft’s name will be yet?

    not really. The fuselage is polished, the wing a kind of light gull grey, ailerons and flaps again polished. Believe me, it will be a real dream !

    Here the pictures took by Werner Hovrath, engineer of Dieter Thoms Flighttest (they make all the paperwork for MeierMotors). Werner gave MeierMotors those photos, copyright by Werner Hovrath.

    Btw. in the second of the maidenflight I laid on the beach at Bibione (Italy) and took a drink …. I hate holidays when there is a maiden in Bremgarten. But Achim sent me a SMS so I had the chance to party some 750km away …

    Today I talked with the team and Marc “Leon” Mathis. They seemed to be happy πŸ™‚
