Hey Man, judging from your post count you might want to lay off the coffee or get some help.

Great watchin' this one come together Bob. And since you are putting a few together for others I'll take a 33%.

Dude...it was meant as a joke to Bob, hence the "lol"...I know he got it.
And yes you are right, I am lucky to have such a great friend, and I spend as much "free" time as the boss will allow hangin with him, we do alot together besides toy planes....lol
We actually have alot in common.

I am putting the DA 200 in this one, and it is also driving the weight up, but I think this will be a good data point for me in the end.
