Default My one regret

In the 1990s I purchased an E Z Zero .45. currently the model is still not finished. I had two sons 14 months apart and the plane was carefully stored. When they got a little older, I started back into the hobby. I was crushed to see that OK Models and the EZ line were gone. I wanted to purchase a P-51 Mustang. I remember I used to have an article from Chris Chianelli regarding the EZ Zero. I have searched and searched the interweb and have never been able to find the article. The last time I worked on the model was roughly 4 years ago. I was excited to finally break the model back out and continue to put it together. Unfortunately not 5 minutes into it, I was cutting a hard piece of plastic that covers the tail section. I was cutting away from myself, as you were supposed to, but when the exacto knife slipped off the piece of plastic I immediately retracted it quickly before it hit the table. I retracting it so quickly I ended up cutting my middle finger so badly that it took seven stitches. The cut was so deep I had to actually shaved the tendon. I was lucky I didn't cut the tendon all the way through. I hope to finally get it finished and put it in the air. I can guarantee you that it will be the one model that I will have the biggest pucker factor on maidening. These models seem to have a cult following. I saw a body only, from a wrecked EZ Zero, go for $850.00 on ebay.
