Boring reading so far in list form but lots of hours (approx.45 so far).
I got to the hangar after work yesterday and keep working until 2:30 am this morning. It was very quiet at DVT and the hangar was nice and cool to work in. Soon it won't be.
Got 3.5 hours sleep, finished work by 2:30, got to hangar at 3 pm and just got home early tonight at 9:30. Just too much fun to stop. Sometimes lots of hours with little to show for progress but progress is being made.
So far the manual has been just great. Much improved since my model 4 building days. A testament to lots of hard work by the new owners to
make building easier and no guessing what needs to be done and in what order. The quality of the parts are in a word, excellent.
