Greetings all!
I had the great fortune of attaining this wonderful kit during BF bonanza, and came around to building it recently for a L1 certification attempt 3/20/16 (results at the end of the thread- stay tuned!)
As I was perusing the forum in anticipation of building it, I found many absolutely fantastic build threads on this exact kit, but many did not answer questions I had that were probably more beginner than compared to the expert builders that were putting DD in the nose cone, doing fancy edits to the kit using Bob Vila's own machinery and power tools, using rare materials that one can only find on peaks in the Himalayas, etc. Thus, the nidus of creating this thread; it is for those that come to the forum that are just approaching the iceburg that is HPR and building their first kit for certification, wanting to discern what will go into their most important build to date.
I learned much along the way- from all the aforementioned threads to more importantly my own experience during this build. Enjoy!
