...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...
That's funny - I was just pondering that very problem myself while uploading pictures of my Air Scout build. You're right - documenting a build takes a whole LOT of time, but I wouldn't do it any other way. It's nice to be able to give back something to the hobby from time to time.
I can only imagine how much time the magazine authors put in to it, even before writing the article. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
