There is nothing wrong with those days. I see them in the not too distant future.

Trying to get everthing done on the fuse and tail feathers I can. Need to start on the wings. I am going to use the sheeting that came with the kit 3/32. If I core the wings do I still need to put carbon on them. I am not going to core them like Matt and Rob just cut a few holes in them.

Misunderstanding, I meant putting the hard points and screws through the stabs. Rob

Yo Tim!

Enjoyed your flying today. Great job on the build. You got a posse of Top Gun builders pitching in for you with some great advice. Would like to trade shop tours with you sometime.

Keep your eyes open for me on Southbound I-95 when you head to The Nall:

How far South do I hav'ta be to wag my thumb at you?
