Hi All,

I've been lurking around RCU for quite awhile now and thought that it's about time I came out of the shadows and participate a bit!

I'd been looking for a new project for a few months when I came across [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4017336/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm]rainedave's great UFO build[/link]. I've always wanted a UFO, I even had a glass & foam kit back in the early 80's. Ended up selling the kit instead of building it, BIG MISTAKE! I've always regretted that decision. Rainedave's thread renewed my interest in the UFO. If my build comes even remotely closed to the quality of rainedave's UFO I'll be a Happy Camper!

So I ordered a set of plans from [link=http://www.rcmplans.com/]RCM Plans[/link] which I received last week. In the interest of saving time(I'm a really slow builder) I'm going to go with a foam wing and stab. I ordered the cores last night from Don at [link=http://www.eurekaaircraft.com/]Eureka Aircraft[/link]. This was the first time I've dealt with Eureka and I was impressed with the service I received from Don. I had emailed him late Sunday night about pricing and wasn't expecting a reply until least Monday. About an hour later I received his reply and I ordered the cores. Today I received an email, with a tracking number, stating that the cores were shipped! Hopefully the foam cores will be as high quality as Don's service! Has anyone else had any experience with Eureka cores?

While I wait for the cores to arrive I'll clear the bench and setup a new building board. I'm looking forward to this project. It's been several years since I actually built a "real" model, other than ARF's! Yes, I admit it, I have "assembled" an ARF or two, or three! What can I say, I'm weak!

Feel free to heckle, cajole, harass, boo, applaud and just comment in general as this build progresses!

Ralph
