Well, people have asked me: "How fast can you really build one of these planes"? I'm going to find out soon. Mine went in last week at Jacksonville to some kind of radio lock out. Before you ask, no, the carbon doesn't have anything to do with it. (That is a myth substantiated by some facts but really does not apply to our planes).

So, after I get the rest of the kits taken care of, I will be doing a wide open build on a plane along side Emory's electrics. Those are almost done, so they won't interfere with each other.

My prediction: 2 weeks or less from kit to flying. NOT glassed and painted unless I'm really blistering in speed. I know for a fact that's at least a week alone, and I don't really have it. So my plan is a full build in monokote, no sacrifices. Probably a basic kit, just to keep me in Black Magics until next season's planes are done. Man what a year.

I am opening the support forums today so I'll be mailing passwords. If you do not get yours by Friday, please email me and let me know what your registered name is. There's not much there right now, but that is the place to ask questions and share info and feedback. I think you'll like what it becomes over the next few weeks.

Ok Dean, get back to building actual VF3s
