Default RE: Four-Star 120 build getting started.

From the depths I resurrect my post I guess.


This plane got put on a shelf abut the time I stopped posting progress reports because of...well mom didn't like my GPA getting awfully close to starting with a "1" instead of a "3".



I've also been dealing with a bout of very serious OCD related issue which left me pretty much a hermit in my own home unable to drive...... and I thank the good lord everyday I got smart and finally went to a doc. and got help.


Now I'm back flying(or will be if I can quit hitting playground equipment and the ground with my ep kadet LOL).


I also discovered to my chagrin that my puppies had EATEN the left wing panel of my poor four star(mom thought I had sliced and appendage off when I started yelling after I found that one....), so, a new wing kit is going on order from sig sometime this week I think.

I'm also still trying to figure out what motor to run. BCMA doesn't even sell the motor I had chosen for it originally, so I need some input(the jett is out of the question now....) on whether there 26cc EFI or 44cc EFI would be more appropriate.

I should have the tail finished soon(I managed to screw up the H. stab originally, I'm going to go buy some more wood and finish it and the V. stab tomorrow).


BTW, ya'll are going to love my doctor's advice on helping with insomnia and OCD...... "go find the biggest, most complicated airplane kit(this was after I explained I flew RC stuff) you can, and build it...."!
