Awesome Thomas, just AWESOME! Good luck hombre!
Yea imma need it... i'm going to be going thru a small forrest of balsa tree's with this project... So far i'm up to a full page of paper in just wood needed for the wings and tail.. I haven't even gotten started on figuring out the amount of wood needed for the fuselage, but i'm estimating somewhere around 150-200 sheets of 3/32" x 4" x 48" balsa.. so if anyone wants to donate some balsa, i'd be all up for it

Quick update:

Tail parts are rough cut and ready for final sanding, started drawing up the parts templates for the wing spoilers and the new building table is done.




I'll get pictures of the tail parts later today once they are done... and if everything goes well today, i should have the majority of the wing ribs cut as well, which will complete the short kit.
