Rick,

Actually Carden also has a six month wait time just for KITS. So the wait time for Troy Built makes sense since they build each one by hand. I put my order in for the TBM when this post first started, recently I was told MAYBE April befor I get the call that they are ready to start building. As you know we have some contests in April, so I decided I had to find something else for next year (Maybe the TBM will be for two years from now!)

I have to agree with EXCAP though I would like a TBM even more if I could build it. I wouldn't mind building a jig. I've done it for other planes.

EXCAP I use the Digital level as well, and I am not satisfied until everything says 0.0

EXCAP - For wings, you might want to give vacuum bagging a try. Works great, gives you more "weight" then you could any other way, and it is always straight. (Once the bag is pulled you can even hang it out of the way to cure.

How do you like the Aeroteck 260? IS it as nuetral as the TBM? It looks like a great price and great weight.
