Default RE: Pay It Forward Build Thread!! Sig LT-40 build

RC-FIEND,
Oh trust me, I have a pretty good list of waiting projects. But I'm probably going to build 2 Ultra Sport 1000's. I had originally planned on building one for myself, but I've picked up a "build for hire" that wants me to build an Ultra Sport 1000 for them. Hey, I can't ignore a build for money because that will finance the Zenoah G-38 motor I want to get for the Dynaflite Super Decathlon I picked up at a swap meet. The last time I talked to him he will be getting the kit to me after the first of the year. I have a Great Planes 40 size Ultimate that's ready to be sanded and covered that I may finish up this winter. I've also got a Balsa USA Thunderbug that I've blown up from 40 to 60 size that I hope to have in the air before next summer. And if I still have time I have a Goldberg Extra 300 that's framed up that I would like to finish. I just picked up an OS 91 FX that would be great on that plane, so I may try to finish that up.

To be totally honest with you, I really don't have much left to do this winter!!! Just kidding of course. Who knows, maybe I'll have something "really cool" pop up that will jump to the head of the line on the building table.

When I decided to do this build thread I had no idea how much work was involved. It's one thing to build a plane, but to build one and have to plan and take pictures of the entire build really eats up the time. I probably could have had this build finished up by now if it wasn't for documenting it. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying every bit of this build (and glad that I can help out others out there), but I had no clue of how much extra time it was going to take. But it's really a labor of love for me, so I definitely don't mind one bit.
