    a few more pictures, and I want to add that I plan to offer electronic plans, laser cut files for the ribs and fuse parts, plus 0ver 300 construction photos, no instructions but a few notes and a bill of additional materials including sources for carbon gear and wing tube.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    welcome to the club, sorry about that nevertheless. mine was repaired last year after clipping that pole on approach, and I've been flying the heck out of it the last few months since we got a new field. here is some inspiration to get her fixed.

    you would think., but the shop owner is Chinese Filipino and he refuses to float a price for fear he will undercut himself, but he is sitting on three planes. it's the culture here.
