Wow! Dr. you are going Bullet Speed. I finally started with the Stabilizer - elevator. I had to clear space for the build area. I will share some picture, I'm still setting up the blog ( build log) I will be using to document the progress.
Do you know that center thick part on the stabilizer that has a bunch of holes and we are supposed to cut out a portion on each side with the snip? well, I almost broke my bones trying to cut that. I decided to use a Dremel and cut those 2 pieces off like they were butter. The video nor manual mention any Dremel tool, I wonder why!, it makes cutting and shaping so easy!.
With a month off and a heated and well lit garage,
I am able to progress fairly quickly if I only had a mentor or a well educated builder friend.
I can get the spouse to flip a wing or help with a big sheet
The closest I have so far is the Home help video guy.
But it is supposed to be an educational experience and almost recreational.
You seem to be really moving along.
