WHOA!

You SCRATCH BUILT this 4 place in only 3 years!

And only posted to this forum 3 times!

I feel like such a slacker!

[Scheineman]

Ah Rob hope i did not give the wrong impression of a short build time. It took 5 years to build and that required focus and perseverance. I could have built it in 3 years from scratch if i had more time. This forum is great in looking at different ideas but sometimes they get in the way of progress by creating doubt in a builders mind as to which way is the best way to proceed. To many choices just slows things down. Keep on truckin!

Good on you, Wayne - that's a positive thing to do.

When you have a chance, do a walk around video of your plane. Take your time and tell us all about your plane...looks great....it never gets boring looking at Bearhawks and hearing about the construction.
