The PT-40 goes together quickly, and if you stagger work on different parts of the plane you can get a lot done in a night. I, too, moved quickly with my construction. I pretty much finished the plane in a week of nightly working. Now that I'm on the covering it's taken another few weeks, one to wait for parts, another to wait for covering and now this week which has been spent actually covering. Last night over a few hours I managed to hinge, bevel and cover my ailerons which was the last actual construction I had to do. Past this I have to cover the fuse (sides/top) and bottom of the h.stab then mount all the hardware. I expect to be done this weekend, time granted of course.

Then it'll be back to waiting. My wife and I just bought a house and I won't have a radio or AMA until at least the end of July. If I'm lucky, I might get enough money together this flying season.

What could've been only a few weeks construction and off to the flying field may not see the skies until next year

Not that I'm complaining, the wife has allowed me some unfair funding to my hobby. I hope the last expenses won't slow me down too much.

brsseb, good luck on the remaining construction!
