Default Skymaster F-18C on order...Now what...LOL

Ok, so my Skymaster F-18C Blue Angel is on order.... 14 to 16 weeks ish? No worries...

So now what? LOL

When should I start ordering electronics, air lines (told to toss the stock ones), valves (toss stock ones?) ect?

Got nothing but time now...Soccer season is here so flying will be limited. Now to start catching good deals on everything until she gets here...

Thanks for all the support and purchase guidance.

start reading this forum and bookmarking all pertinant info about your exact plane. IE mods other builders made, CG, throws, etc etc unfortunately you cannot always depend on the info the manufacturers give you. As far as ordering parts, I would start now, you are going to need a bunch of stuff, and some of it your LHS will not have. I hate getting in build mode then having to stop for a week for a dream works order.

My suggestion is don't do anything till you get it. Except new airline and what ever equipment your planning to use. ��
