Rick, I live in a small town south east of Sacramento, and we were fortunate not to be affected by the fires. I know what you mean by sanding, sanding, and more sanding. Im sure that you could quickly frame up a Kobra, there is not that much to it. Mine weighed 3lbs 10oz with four standard servos, and I sheeted the leading edge back to the main spar.
Im also in the middle if a sanding party on a Sig Kougar.
