Hey all-
Here we go again. I was waiting for the "perfect weekend" to start this kit. It turns out the weather (for most of the U.S.) was really bad this weekend....a perfect time to brew a pot of coffee and begin a long-involved kit.
I confess, I initially thought not to do a thread on this. I was a tad intimidated by the kit among other things. But after a few hours, my mind changed and I thought to seek input and share in the experience. I know this kit has been out awhile. But what the hey...I hope others who may have not built this kit will get something out of mine and others people's posts (on this kit)....and from the thread.
The photos start late...meaning I had made the body of the glider by the time I started taking photos. Sorry!
Also, IMO this is really a great kit. Estes makes a lot of kits one can build in a few hours. They are all great. But I will say their Skill level 3-5 kits are a dream. I like kits that are challenging and have style...THIS kit surely fits this description. I also noticed that HOW the kit is designed and the order of operations lends it to being a good build. Anyway...here we go..
I look forward to any input....I will have questions for sure!!
