Status: offline 		Just curious about how long it takes to finish building. I haven't decided between these two planes. I was looking at a Funtana X100 but I'm going to try one of these instead. Good forum and support, after watching the videos I don't think the X100 compares.

Building profiles is pretty easy as everthing builds pretty much flat on your board with no fancy jigs or alignment issues. Both ARFs go together exactly the same......just shapaed differently!

Status: offline 		To answer my own question in case anyone else is curious about build time. I bought the Yak and am about 7 hours into it and all there is left to do is mount my servos and motor. I think about 10 hours should see the whole thing done with radio set up and ready to go.

Status: offline 		I heard a rumor Chevy was going to move the Corvette assembly line from Bowling Green to some new state-of-the-art plant in TN sometime soon. Any truth to that? I've been wanting to fly up here for the last two months but our weather has been windy and just plain crappy.

Status: offline 		Seems like that would be a MAJOR decision by Chevy given the history there in Bowling Green and the Corvette Museum being located there. I don't own a vette but I always stare at the plant and museum when I'm headed down to TN for a bro event.
