I think I love building just as much, or dare I say it, more than flying. My first kit was a NorthEast Aerodynamics Train-Air 40 tha required me to creat every part. Not hollowed out trailing edge for your aileron torque rods here. It taught me a lot and put the hook in me. My next kit was a Sig 4-Star and I was almost disappointed on how easy it was to build. But they were both great fliers. Now I make my own composite planes and everyday I'm thinking of new was to do design things, I am a very aggressive flier, but I sure love handing over the sticks to a Pro every once in a while to wring out my design!!!

If I had limited myself to ARF's I never would of got to fly my 4.19lb, 59" wingspan Cap 232(one of my small planes). What a riot!!!! (pictured below w/o cowl and canopy had not been glued on yet)

Keep at, no matter what your angle is!!!
