i agree, rick, not to rush the construction and seeing as this will be my first plane i'm sure there are things that will take me more time than others. i think i'm just excited to get flying. so lets hold off on this weekend to give me time to get everything assembled and ready to go and maybe shoot for next weekend.

i understand about the mileage... i'll be driving about 30 miles each way as i live near the astrodome. so save your gas this weekend and we'll get together for the first lesson next weekend, weather permitting.

thanks so much rick!
