Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

Looks like you're gonna beat me Bill. I'll be lucky to get mine done before the Nats. But I never say die!!!!

it took me the better part of May just to get the parts made (cores cut, kits done, etc). Didn't really start sheeting or glueing anything until the first week of June. I'm gonna see if 2 VF3s can be built and painted in a month.

Just heard my tech Aero reg is on the way. Paint should be here this week, and I am cheating...Arch is covering my wings and stabs for me. Ok not cheating THAT much, I'm painting his fuse beside mine. Anybody wanna come down and help me sand primer next week?

The plan is to roll out 2 brand new planes in exactly 2 weeks. One for me, one for Archie. if I can't get the glass on by next weekend, all bets are off. Looks ok so far, but that last bit of sanding is gonna sting.

When this is over, I'm busting a case of Heineken. LOL
