I've spent about 80 hours a week for the past two months developing improvements in the way I enjoy the hobby. In addition to developing the megabar further and developing my own strut system for it, as of this weekend, I'll have the old Mach 2 jets F-20 molds. I hope to have it developed over the winter and flying sometime in '08.

I don't know how many thousands I've invested over the past few months, but it is well over 5 on equipment, materials, and tooling. Home anodizing was just one of the next steps I'm taking

Going through this process, really really gives an appreciation to those who have gone down this road before me. It is time consuming, and thankless, the only thing I get out of it is enjoyment, and a product that is outstanding, and my own!

All the best, and thanks for the link.
