Hah! Who has more parts to show for their efforts though? That'd be you! :)

Considering your background, I should be studying your methods!!! :-D

Greg, your site and videos were among the study materials I used before building that brake. So thanks for your efforts! Can't wait to start cranking out more parts. In fact, I'm spending work time (ahem) putting together a Wicks and Airparts order right now. :)

Great seeing another brake up and running! You'll be cranking out parts like crazy now. I also started with rudder parts, but once the brake was done, my speed at making parts really skyrocketed. One year in, and I had about 90% of the aluminum parts fabricated. I'm now 15 months in and assembling away. Best hobby ever.
