Thanks to all of you for the advice. I think I'm going to enjoy building as much as I do flying. My first mistake with this build was the kit that I bought. Great Planes RV-4. I really like this plane and thought it might be ok for a second plane as I'm still flying with an instructor. I thought looking at the instructions that it would be pretty straight forward. I think that the instructions are good and so far I understand them however, I think they are asuming that the builder has a little more experience than I do. I'm getting pretty far into the build and have been at it for about a month. I now spend all of my free time in the " man cave " working on the plane. At one time I was a diesel mechanic and like most men, I love tools. I don't think you can ever have enough. I have found that my razor saw and my wood plane are my best friends. I've never posted pics so as soon as I figure out how I will put some up. I figured out tonight that I put the firewall in backwards and now the punch marks are reversed. Dang it !! I'll post some pics so you guys can help me. Thanks again!!!
