Mark,

No need to take this off-forum. I just change the subject of the thread.

I haven't flown it yet but I hope to have it flight ready real soon. I've only heard good things about this design so I feel that it would be a good first 2M pattern plane.

I didn't build this one as I bought it used. However, I have a lot of experience with fiberglass fuses. I enjoy them a lot more than wood kits. The old saying of measure twice, cut once dosen't apply. I always measure as least 4 times and then use a dry erase marker to place temp markings for where I'm going to cut or drill.

I've seen a lot of newer pattern pilots with older 2M planes as they can be bought cheap. I like them because they require you to fly them a litter faster then the newer designs. I find that when I fly a plane than can be flown slower my mistakes become very clear, making them hard to hide while being judged.
