Default RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Well I've started on a Turbinator this weekend. However, it's not mine. A friend bought the plans and had them reduced. He asked if I would build it up. So, I figured I would practice on his then build mine
I started Friday night with a couple hours, and on and off Saturday and today. I have the fuse pretty far along. It does build quickly but since this one was scaled down, there are several things getting in the way. I had to rip down most of the stick stock to fit properly. I'm nearly ready to start the hatch and sheet the front. I have more wood coming. The first order from Balsa USA was for mine but I used it on this on. I made another order from National Balsa. It should arrive the first of the week.
Like alot of people, I haven't done a real build in quite awhile. Kinda cool to do it again.
