Sharing build progress online

[LukeS]

So time will tell if this was a smart decision or not, but I've started to share my build on a separate FB page https://www.facebook.com/Bearhawk024
The idea is that by sharing the build with a coworker, who's also an aviation enthusiast, I make myself more accountable to keep making progress. It's also free, and I like free stuff. We'll see how well it works.

Brave soul! Hope it helps (I'm too chicken with my spotty progress).

Sounds like fun! In doing something similar, I found that running a few months of delay helped me catch some of my more embarrassing mistakes before I published them.

I'm trying to take pics and document as I go, because I know if I put it off, I'll just forget.

I like seeing builds real time. That way less is hidden; if the builder does something wrong and finds out later in the build is too late...the world already knows. You get to see the mistakes made and how to resolve them, it's a great learning experience. The guys following my build had the privilege of seeing me snap off my tail post and all the frustration, doubt and concerns that followed. Part of the process is screwing up and recovering.

Looking forward to following your build Luke! I don't know how you guys build those wings...no way I could ever do it.

Thanks, Whee, The way I see it, if I document as I go and make a mistake in a part, there is at least a chance that some one will spot that mistake and let me know.
