Default RE: Mini F-16 vintage project consideration

Guys,
Progress here is slow and steady, don't expect any instant gratification with this project!! One of the major next steps is that I have to drill the mounting holes for the motor pod in the 1/4" ply parts. That means I have to drill a 4-40 clearance hole 1 1/4" deep through a 1/4 x 1/4 plywood square. I was pretty skeptical about this operation, I didn't expect it to be successful. So I hunted down a drill press on crags list and bought it for $50. I tested a sample piece today with excellent results! I'll try a actual part tomorrow!
