Sorry to hear about your plane.....
I'm building Old #9 of Tom's 88" Edges. Thought I would post some pics to help ease your pain!! You're going to love this plane. I absolutely love the color scheme. It's going together very easily......Tom's got a real winner here!!!! I'm hoping to have it ready to maiden in a couple more days....work keeps getting in the way....
Hang in there till yours arrives!!
