Introduction and questions...
I live in the upstate of South Carolina and ordered the first kit yesterday, after spending a few months reviewing the plans and discussing the build with my wife and 14-year-old son. Both have agreed to help and are excited to get started. (That will probably change when it comes time to sand fiberglass.)
This will be our second long-term project. Our first being an airplane which took 2400 hours to build over four years and has been flying for 15 years and 1100 hours. (It was built of riveted aluminum with a few fiberglass parts I had to modify or fabricate. Yes, I have come to terms with working with fiberglass.) We figure it is time to slow down from. 175 knots to 5 knots.
The first kit has been ordered but now I wonder if I should start on the spars first. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Like when I built my plane, I'm sure there are many mods, additions, accessories, etc. you have added to your builds that you are very pleased with, can you share those? (I know some of those I can't take advantage of until much later in the build.)
