Project VP Officially Begins! Pssst, Wanna Buy A T-Shirt?

  As this video shows, construction of my updated, modified Volksplane that I call 'Project VP' has begun! I have the pretty crazy goal of actually getting it all built in time for Oshkosh 2009 which begins July 27th.  The idea is that having the super-cool AirPigz graphics on the airplane will generate a huge amount of promo for AirPigz.com during the greatest aviation event in the world: Oshkosh. 

 I honestly don't know if I can get it done in time, but the one thing I know for sure... I can't get it done without your help. That's why I'm selling ‘Project VP supporter' t-shirts.  More info at the end of this post about how to get one ordered.

 Between a back injury with surgery four years ago (without insurance) and a wide variety of extremely frustrating financial setbacks in the last year, I've been pretty much crushed from a money standpoint.  I started AirPigz with the hope that I'd eventually be able to get away from the back-stressing physical workload of the housing industry work that I do. So, some huge promo for AirPigz at Oshkosh gives me a real shot at attracting the kind of attention and traffic that is needed for this site to become profitable on some level.

 I'm also really interested in encouraging people to have a better understanding of some of the options that are out there to be able to get into the air affordably.  We've got to find ways to spark growth in the world of aviation or we run the risk of being legislated out of the sky.  The very public nature of PVP, thru the live shopcam I've set up as well as the video updates and posts here at AirPigz are designed to show people a little more about what it takes to build a simple and affordable airplane. 

 I hope you see the unique value of supporting this project. You can better understand the overall project, as well as see the basic format that the t-shirt will be in by checking out the "Project VP Needs Your Help" post.  The t-shirt design isn't quite finished yet, but if I stand any chance of making the goal, I need to get some shirts sold asap.

 To order up a top quality 6-ink Project VP 'sponsor' t-shirt for $50, which will be delivered in July, please send me an email at mcc@airpigz.com and I'll respond with the details on how to order. Payment can be made with check, money order, or PayPal.  And thanx for your support and encouragement!
