he doesn't like to sit still with toys in his mouth! :roll:

everybody keeps telling me that the only way to go is quickbuild. i tell ya what, i am really enjoying this so far! plus, i can enjoy my way all the way to the bank with the savings!

this took me 47.5 hours, completed in one month and 14 days.

Well Chad, I never pegged you as a quickbuilder.

I think there are 3 types of builders, QB's, SB's and SB's who would have liked QB but are content with their decision.

I suppose you could have a fourth category. QB's that would have liked to buy it off the shelf complete... but that is a certified aircraft and another category completely.

There are also people who are sad to see the project come to completion, but I think they are in the minority.

Chad, you could go SB Wings and QB Fuse if you like!
