RE: Cost of assembly
Stickbuilder, i was a little wound up yesterday (not having the best day was an understatement!) so i apologize for coming across like a jerk. I envy your position in being able to devote the time you want to building. I have built a couple of planes def. not anything as complex as the ones you currently build and can appreciate that great feeling of watching your own creation take flight for the first time. Part of my frustration with people saying "you make time" for these things is i have tried to juggle my time commitments around to reasonably make it work for building and haven't had any luck so far. Once my children are older and hanging around dad is no longer cool (hope that day never comes) then i will have time for building and believe me i have already scheduled it in. I have a set of plans for a Fairchild PT-26 Cornell which is the plane my grandpa flew in WWII and will scratch build it once my skills are up to par. You keep building i'll keep flying (for now) and hopefully soon i will be building as much as i fly because i truly enjoy it.
