I got back from Cabo last night and after my wife went to bed I started to tinker on the board. I got everything set up and with the parts on the plans realized that I had made a mistake when cutting the stab centers out of the die cut sheets. Stupid mechanic.[:@] I had to go to Michael's today and buy a 3/32 X 4 X 30 balsa sheet to make new ones. They are currently being laminated. I guess this kit is a little more involved than the Tiger was. Now I know why laser cut kits have become so popular. I also cut the plans while cutting the first piece.[:@] This morning I started to read an article by Bob Arble in the AMA magazine about kit building. One of the things he mentioned as a necessity for building was a cutting board. After I taped the plans back together I went looking for something to use as a cutting board and found a small piece of 3/4" melamine. At least my reading won't suffer as a result of this kit, just putting it into practice has proven to be the hard part, at least where I am concerned.
