Anthony you're very fortunate to have Mark close and willing to guide you through this. You simply can't lose.

The plane looks fantastic! (And now I know what you look like!) I see mark eyeballing that stab...LOL I HATE stabs. I don't know why. I always have to futz over them to make them fit just right. You can do the math, everything is straight, everything lines up and checks, and still, once in a while that root just doesn't look quite right. So, ya tweak and sand...and all is well. It's the tweaking and (MORE) sanding that makes me nuts I think...

I can build one that fast for only one reason: I designed it, so I spend absolutely zero time thinking about it. I just "do". if I could make epoxy and pulyurethane and white glue cure faster, I could do it in about 3 But there is an awful lot of time spent wondering how to best approach a step. All I can give is guidelines, and even those are somewhat sketchy....but they work. I don't know of anyone who has failed at building one yet. But this isn't a race, so however long it takes, it's worth it. What you get in the end is something you can't just go out and buy. It is solid, and has your personal touch...it's truly "yours".

I hope you do fantastic with it up there! I'll be up there for a contest sometime this year. You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be back for the Districts, that was FUN!!! (And mark runs a great contest....but that Saturday night is something that has to be experienced!)

Anyway I'm glad you like it. You'l love it when you get a few flights on it!
