Thanks for that. I know a few guys now who really enjoy building, fabricating, repairing etc, but no longer want to fly for a number of reasons. They are great to learn from, some have little tricks and things they do to make the process easier. One has hammered me enough over the past two years to get my first kit, which I finally did this past week. It's laser cut and doesn't look all that difficult, but we'll see.
