Yippee! My Ryan kit arrived today. I need another kit like a hole in the head, but it looks like fun. I was surprised how much detailed info is actually in the kit.....very nice. Lots of views of the rivet placement too. You can tell this is certainly an old-school build with things like a laminated LE on the vertical stab. I may opt to modify a bit to simplify some assembly in areas like this. I will have to review Vincent's mastery to see if he cut any corners to speed up the build in these areas or stuck true to the plans, I just don't recall. Very nice though. I need to make lots of notes!!!!!!

P. S. Nice balance job there Vincent, kudos. I may be interested in one of those balancers myself, so you may want to have your buddy launch a web-order form!
