Default Building process

It is not excessively complex, but requires experience due to the size of the model and the necessary accuracy in the alignment of a model of these characteristics. It is advisable to have at least two work benches simultaneous with accessibility on all four sides to significantly reduce working time, which is just what I did not have, so the construction has taken me several years. And what is more important, in several phases of the building the airplane must remain completely assembly during days, reason why also it is necessary to a diaphanous surface of about 15 m2 (161' - 66'' f2) that does not interfere with other familiar interests.
