Spartan Model 7W Executive 1/4 Scale I'm getting ready to start building a Hostetler 27% Extra 300XS. The TF P-40 I was building got put on the shelf until I can get electric retracts for it. I may do a build thread for the Extra but i'm not sure yet.
Kinda diving into the deep end, eh buddy?
Building skills like any other, are acquired over time. After nearly 40 years, I still make stupid mistakes.
The best advice I can give? Get the best tools you can afford, use good lighting, and take your time.
Personally, my goals are three-fold...Build it light, build it straight, and build it strong.
Oh, and it's gotta look good! No room in my hangar for ugly airplanes!
Keep us posted, okay?
