Default RE: Let's see more building threads

RCKen,

I would say that this would be great endeavor. Showing a basic build, from start to finish, would be valuable to anyone interested in building their first kit.

Do a straight forward build with no modifications. Explain the plans, show the tools needed including buildboards and setting up a basic workspace. Cover the selection of parts not included in the kit, engines, electronics, hardware and coverings. Cover the construction and installation of engine, hardware and electronics. Do a typical covering. Balance and trim, engine break-in, Preflight and maiden. Also include a running tally of costs.

One suggestion, take 10 times the number of photos that you'll think you will need. You don't have to post them all, but when it comes time to produce a more concise How-To, you'll have more material to edit from.
