[papa 695]

Got this last year from the wife for our 17th aniversary [ATTACH]62725.vB[/ATTACH] so building it for our 18th on the 3/6/13 made a start [ATTACH]62726.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62727.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62728.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62729.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62730.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62731.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62732.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62733.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62734.vB[/ATTACH]

I know it's a re-post but Ian M ask'd me so nicely to post it in the under construction section

Going to change the dates on the tailplane to co-inside with our wedding/aniversary dates

Got the cockpit done and fitted the main componants into the fusealage and fitted some lead just to make sure it's not a tail sitter [ATTACH]62799.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62800.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62801.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62802.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62803.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62804.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62805.vB[/ATTACH]

Great start Ian. That's a really nice idea regarding the dates on the tail too. You should earn some extra points for that.

Very very very wise Ian. This is putting myself in your boots with my wife. Whoops not saying any more getting complicated.
