Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

Okay we've got a lot done on this fuse in just a couple evenings. The thing about building this plane is there are a number of small tasks that you need to keep moving through. The hardest thing for me is to complete one task then shift gears and get started on a completely different task. It's to easy just to kick back and admire your work. Keep your work focused and when you complete a task move on to the next. I often catch myself wasting a lot of shop time, sitting back and just looking at things because they are just so pretty.

Here is my weight so far for the fuse, I am just slightly over 15 oz so far. My two turtle decks will add about 6.5 oz and my cowl and chin should be around 4.5 oz So my fuse is looking like it should be well under 2 lbs before paint.


bout to crack an ice cold beer

cheers all!
