Normand. I found the last month or so of building decelerated drastically. Each peiceof safety wire was slowly and carefully wrapped. Each nut and hose clamp was slowly installed with precision. Like a last walk on the beach before the vacation is over. I found myself making up tedious tasks just to extend the building time; like installing the compass in three different locations. Love the flying part of it, but the tinkering and refining will continue.

Hi Martin,

Took me 12 years from start to finish... Just give it time and it will fly !

Congrats and now, EnJoY !!!

Would you believe I miss those days building... Now, just flying ???

At least, the flying is GREAT !!!

Well done, Martin!   I may be heading for the longest build time, but I will keep going...

Congratulations!  You give me hope!  I'm only 6 years into my CH650 project, but enjoying every second of it.
