<span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">wow... good to finally be back on here. i had a little vacation time after getting back from the dirt, so unfortunately, i burnt it doing things other than working on the mini. like fixing a leaky dishwasher, mowing down the forest in the back yard and the usual "honey do" items. got suckered into that one somehow. so i got the box open and popped a few pics that i will be posting tomorrow (gotta charge the camera)of just the usual whatever people take pics of stuff in the box for. then the construction will commence. woohoo!!! ohhh, after i clean the work bench off from the "doesn't belong in the house" type items. but i can't wait. it's been a 7 month thought process of what i was planning to do with the plane and the order of doing it. please post any suggestions that may come to thought for those with experience building the mini, as some of the steps are rather awkward reading. i'll be keeping tabs on the other mini thread in the forum here as well for what else is going on with that. i really don't want to crash someone elses thread to start a new construction after 20 something pages of awesomeness already going...so here's my construction. </span></span>
