Default Builder wanted

Hello all. I am searching for a builder, experienced in Bridi kits. I'm clearing out an estate and my shop is jammed packed, and I have two projects on the workbench, one arf and one kit, which is preventing me from meeting my building goals for the past winter.

I have several Bridi kits, from BlueJay Airplane kits, new in the box. But, I want my Utter Chaos 40 built for the upcoming flying season. Probably the simplest of the kits to build, but I just don't have the time or the space. I'm just looking for framing service.

So, if you build, or can suggest someone, please contact me. I'm in north Delaware, but have no problem shipping.

Best,
Brian

Who told you I was Santa? (I'll upload a pic later tonight)

What I need is my life to return to normal. Being an executor to an estate has been "not fun". I was busy enough trying to balance my own family life and work schedules. My dog even hates me now. [&o]

My storage unit is packed. My work shop went from 800 sq ft down to about 100 sq ft. I can't even fall down now without hitting my head.

Oh, woe is me.

Anyways, it's not critical that I get the Chaos built. I have an Intruder and a Javelin to get me through.

Best,
Brian

Brian,

I hired a builder that has disappointed me greatly. I would not recommend him at all but will not release his name publicly until I hear from him for the last time. Feel free to pm for the name though.

Thanks again for the replies, everyone. I believe that I'm going to take a week off from work and finish the two projects currently on my bench. A little "TFB" (Time For Brian) I probably only have about 20 hours to finish them both. But, 20 hours of working in the shop would take 4 or 5 months with everything I have on my plate.

It's been 25+ years since I built a Chaos, and I was really looking forward to the kit. So, I think I'll get to it sometime this summer.

And, I can't find my Santa pictures. Sorry.

Hello, Brian.

The most successful people in life are those that tackled the jobs that others disliked the most and learned how to do them well.

I used to be a member of both the First State R/C Club and the Delaware R/C Club, IIRC. That was back in the early eighties, while I was living in Pennsville, NJ, just across the Delaware River from your fine state.

I do understand your dilemma. I used to work full time and play music commercially full time. So I understand what it is like being pressed for time. I never did find anyone that would build models the way that I wanted them built. I wish you the best of luck in finding a satisfactory and affordable builder.

Hi Ed. I am also a member of First State R/C, since 1997, and Delaware R/C since 1999. We're getting ready for our Warbirds Over Delaware event in July.
I've been a member of Delaware County R/C since 1984 and the Secretary of the Club since 1986. For some reason, I do recall your name. Not sure when you left First State and Delaware R/C.

Thanks Larry for the words of encouragement. I'm sure things will be back to normal soon. I'm just impatient.

For Pattern Pilot: I told you that I was Santa!


Best,
Brian
