Default RE: Skydrill kit build

Those are really nice, complete kits. av8rsodt is building one, too, so I'll get a chance to fly one... if he gets it finished.

I second the use of rubber bands for the wing. I've tried nylon bolts on planes w/o gear and the first big clump of crabgrass your wingtip hits usually breaks the bolt block loose in the fuse.

My Skyline was pretty tight when I got it. I think Tim works on the fit, so mine, at least, needed several tanks to break in. But, then, I'm used to running 30yr old reedies that are way too loose. I'm using a short NV, too.
