thanks guys,

I just completed about 90% of the construction tonite. Tomorrow will "nut and bolt" ever thing again with my son as an extra pair of eyes.

Don, do you think I should bother to check CG???

I plan to to CG and lateral axis check with son. Then, with that completed, adjust all the throws.

Guess I'm kinda lucky with a "workshop". I own and operate a boarding kennel on the property so I have LOTS of space that is heated/AC'd to do all this work in. Then a few hundred yard walk to any of my fields...

I am excited for the maiden flight but not too excited to overlook thorough pre-flight or, if there is wiund, to "push the envelope" and try to make a flight in conditions that will equal $$$$.

Thanks for all the advice, it is heard and acknowledged.

Tomorrow nite I'll be back with another installment entitled, "TOOTHPICKS" !
