John,
Being from Connecticut, I think you understand how long the winters can be

Not having a Black Magic to build should free up a lot of those Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar evenings where it's too cold to do anything other than go in the workshop. The Shinden is a quick build anyway so it shouldn't be too bad. I saw the one in the RCU market area and besides already being built, it is set up for glow with YS DZ power. I am going all purpose built electric.
Alex,
Thanks I will look into it. Hope it is still in stock.
