Default BBW Dalton 300ML
That's right another BBW for your viewing pleasure! The kit has been delivered and work has already begun on the Dalton 42% 300ML. This will be my primary plane for the 2008 IMAC season. For those of you who do not know me, I am from Louisiana and mostly fly in the SC Region.

I'm really looking forward to working with Walt on this build for the reasons you guys have seen posted on this site time and time again. The guy is a building artist/genius/master/etc.!

And the Dalton, this will be my first. After flying my buddy's (JPRC) Dalton 300 a few months ago I just had to have my own. As most of you already know, Dalton Aviation has been around for some time kitting and building top notch competition ready IMAC ships.

As Walt sends me updates and pics I will post them as soon as possible. I'm sure that both Tony and Walt will chime it from time-to-time to answer any specific questions you guys have for them. Feel free to contact me anytime to answers questions you may have.

Walt will be building it to a complete ARC stage. Then I will be doing the finishing work.

I've been waiting for this build thread!

It would be cool to see Walt build a Godfrey one day.

As soon as the ML300 is done Walt is doing my Godfrey and you know I will post pics.

This thread of Ryans plane will be fun to watch.

OHH and I'm sure I can answer that question for you. It will be a lot of black, about the same in red, and a stripe or two of yellow.

Congratulations Ryan

It's a blast to see your plane come together when it's being built by Walt.

Every time I would post pics here I would just giggle like a school girl.

You are going to love this plane.

Can't wait to see it so we can spill some beer on it.

Hey Walt when is the next therapy session?

Lets get things rolling. Here are a couple pics of how some of the parts come. Next is the dry fit of the motor box. This box all snaps together and its made so close you got to smack the parts together because its a very tight fit.
