Default RE: Matchless' Burrito build......

Paul, I figured I better build while I can. Wife is at the in-laws watching the tourney..... I hope she wins her brackets... We need a good dinner out.....

Well, about 30 mins ago, I finished framing and finish sanding my Burrito. It needs a little more finish sanding in a couple of areas, but it weighs in at 1lbs 2 1/2oz's. From what I have read, that ain't bad.

I started this morning with plans taped down, and now I have a ready to cover and install gear airframe. I worked from about 7:45 to 12:30, and then 3:00 to 5:15.

I will be putting a TT .46 and standard size gear in it. It will be covered in Clear with Clear Purple graphics..... I may be able to get a lot covered tomorrow after work if weather is still bad (will fly if it is good )

BTW, this is only the 5-6th kit I have ever built (out of about 150+ airframes) as I normally scratch build my own designs...
Paul and I talk design stuff a lot, so a lot of building the Burrito was pretty familiar to me. There were a few things that were kinda unusual....The kit cutting was excellent as usual (menaceflyer cuts kits for both of us, so I am used to the good quality...)Paul did a top notch engineering job on this bird. I would recommend this thing to anyone in a heartbeat. Great job Paul!
