Default RE: Aurora 60 Build Thread - Electric Power

The distractions of summer, family obligations (holidays etc) have taken their toll. Given the weather here in Ottawa, I have no more than 2 months to get the finish applied to my Aurora. I'll be shooting paint shortly...hopefully.

In the meantime, have a look at what I just picked-up. It's an original Fliteglass Saturn (1975) kit. The glasswork is quite nice although maybe a bit heavier compared to today's standard. It's still lighter than most of the stuff from that era, a lot of which came with that extra layer of gel coat on the outside. The foam is in OK shape considering the years this puppy has been in storage. Anyhow, a comparative shot of the Saturn and Aurora fuses side by side.
