Wow, this has been a real roller coaster ride hiatus!!
you guys wouldn't believe it but I re-started the build 2 months ago. I was having major problems with getting started on this kit. I have one of the first generation kits with the really vauge, crappy instruction booklets. No pictures, just words and alot of things to do were just simply left out. Man, everytime I walked by that box in my shop and seen that big ol green tail sticking out of it all I could think about was getting started on it again and the people that have helped me with this project. But with those directions that I had and no experience in glassing, I was very apprehesive about doing this because this is a ONE TIME deal, if it gets screwed up, there is really no replacing individual parts. So it just sat there.
About 3 months ago, I stumbled upons some directions that someone placed here on RCU that I did not know existed! There they were, in all of their glory, pictures, detailed instructions on the build and they were produced in 1987. Thank you, LUFT-GANSTER!!!
I emediately printed them all up and made a book. I studied it for about 3 weeks and started my build.
Almost everything on my build is documented as well as I could with pictures and video. Now since the fabrication part of my build is almost complete, I can relax and start posting pics and videos of the build here on this thread that I started 5 1/2 years ago. There will be no more delays because all of the hard parts of the build are done and finish work begins (the fun part for me)! I really want this plane to be done by September if at all possible.
