Default RE: Watcha Buildin'?

Here is AZ, I try and build all year as my time permits.  Currently I'm working on a TF Gold P-47 that I've had on the table since April.  Just finishing up the vert stab and moving on to the fuselage.  I had a lot going on (bought a new house, got moved and settled, big project at work) so I've been slow...plus I'm using this build to learn how to incorporate scale details, so I'm taking my time with the planning as I try and figure out how to incorporate all the things I want to do.  I'm still not sure how detailed I want to go with this one as its the 60 size and I don't want it to get too heavy.  I'll power it with a DLE20, and besides the main retracts, I want to at least try and incorporate retractable tail gear as well.  RCU has been an invaluable source of info for me on this build.  Now that my days are clearing up a bit, I should be able to knock out the building part by the end of the year and hopefully maiden in the spring. 

I also have a GP Rapture that I built last year that I want to do some overhauling and modification on, and I am waiting for the Venture 60 to become available so I can pick that up...hopefully in the next few months (should've picked it up last year!).  The Venture will be my "take a break" kit, and then I plan on building a giant scale...probably another Jug.  Not sure if I'll go with the TF or Nick Ziroli, I guess it will depending on my budget at that time.

So that should have me covered through most of next year...
