Funny, I was just thinking of the list of people that have been waiting for them.. and here's one crawling out from the bushes already! (cool!)

Yeah man, if you want to go short kit I can deal with that pretty quick. Today I'm picking up some 1/8" ply and will crank out a few more sets of parts over the next couple of days. I have enough spars for about 60-70 kits.

Need the fins or will you improvise those?

The only issue I am having, is that I'd prefer to supply aircraft ply for the engine mounts. I'm having an issue cutting it cleanly - the high glue content sucks up the energy and I get charring. Higher wattage and a faster travel rate would likely fix that but I'm only 60W. However.. I can cut 1/16" aircraft ply fine, so I think I will provide 1/16" top and bottom doublers, over the laser cut 1/8" lite ply. I'll shift the 2" nose ring up 1/16" to line it up with the crank. This will give a hard surface for the engine and blind nuts. Make sense?

I'll PM you later, if I forget PM me.. ;-)
