Dave,

I went to your site and viewed the video. I enjoyed it very much. Gotta love the sound of a four stroke. Beautiflul area you fly in. FYI- I tried to sign your guest book, but it appears it didn't get through.

Construction is coming along good. I am guessing I have 5 to 7 more hours of construction and setting everything up yet to go. If it takes me 6 more hours, that would be a total of 17 hours start to finish. This will include centering all servo's, setting endpoints, and all fine tuning needed to get her in the air. I would have to say this is one of the fastest ARF's I have put together. This is my first Seagull model, and I am impressed with it. Little things like the canopy being on, the hinges being preslotted, and the engine mount being predrilled with the blind nuts in place have made this a pleasant experience.

The only complaint I have thus far is the manuel could be a little more thorough in a couple of areas. If memory serves, I think that the picture in the manuel showing the step where you glue the white wooden washers to the wing over the nylon bolt holes shows them mounting them on the top of the wing instead of the bottom. I had to look that over a couple of times before it dawned on me that they wouldn't do any good on the inside or top side of the wing, they were meant to dispurse the pressure of the nylon bolt head on the outside of the wing. There were a couple other spots where you got a series of pictures without much of a description. I just had to look them over a few times, and I was able to figure everything out. Overall I thought they did a good job laying things out in the manuel.
