[sm=thumbs_up.gif]And the build begins...

This weekend was time to set and gather all things required to begin the build. Since I live in an apartment it was necessary to commandeer my "dining room" and turn it into a successful workshop. It was late saturday night after all was said and done setting up shop, when I decided to wait no longer. So at 11pm, I began. Nothing big to report, simply the beginnings of a project. However, I have one observation to point out:

[ul][*] Over the previous weeks I had come across many negative comments about the quality of Guillows models. And while they are not the precision laser cut kits of today, they come across as a builders dream for me. I've built a few kits in my short tenure in rc airplanes and I'm finding Guillows to be a great challenge for a project such as this. I was especially impressed by the documentation that Guillow provides! Heck, these plans could make a great 1/4 scale project. Hmm....

Either way, here are a few mundane pics to give you an idea of where and what's going on.

Till next post, Cheers!
