Seems I move to another project and all the jibber jabber ends. Just wanted to check in and give you guys an update. Today I was able to fly the plane with all the kids that built it. It flew like a champ. I took off in the parking lot but had to land in the field due to a slight cross breeze. Kids were very excited and then they returned to their lunches. Now she is in a place of respect hanging on the ceiling. The Spitfire we built next is only half finished. We hit some major road blocks. I have not been able to install the retracts because they hit ribs and need to be trimmed. The fuse is a sanding nightmare and ... It just goes on. I need a quiet room with all my tools and classroom managing anywhere in sight. I'll finish by next year (August in school teacher language). This kind of tells you how easy of a build the tripe was. They finished the bulk of the work in 4 1/2 weeks. We didn't even finish half of the Spit in 9 weeks. I think I am going to build another tripe next year. How's your builds coming? Ken-new kits for me to look over yet???
