Is there any more kits un-claimed for. I'd like one too.

You know what? Just barely another few hours after I posted this thread, I've completed the first Bug, which is meant for Johnnie Wong. Only needs radio and will be ready to fly.
That was lightning fast... this morning posted abt building one and halfway through the day one kit is done...
And it is quite a cute looking plane too.

Hehe...Actually, the plane was built over the past few days. The wings were built within an hour on Friday evening. On Saturday evening, I spent another hour on building the fuselage pod and wings covering. Today I spent about 2 hours covering the fuselage, final rigging and assembly.
Okay, I'm starting the building sequence proper now.
With the 'kit' ready, everything is a breeze.
I started off the fuselage construction, which is really a breeze.
Picture 1:
Pin the fuselage bottom sheet on the plan with the formers locations marked. Pin the formers ( only 3 off ) to the bottom sheet.
Picture 2:
The fuselage side panels had thier doublers previously glued in place and former locations marked. a small balsa wedge is glued onto the tail of one of the panels. Pin them onto the last 2 formers and check for alignment before tacking them down with a drop of CA. Once okay, pin the tail ends together, check for alignment and glue them down with CA. Next, tack and glue the forward ends to the first former. Once happy, glue the entire perimeter down to the bottom sheet.
Picture 3:
Glue stips of 1" x 1/16" balsa onto the top of the foward fuselage sections. Unpin the whole assembly, trim and sand down the edges.
Picture 4:
Sand the hole in the tail end to fit the carbon boom and the basic fuselage is done. All these within 10-15mins and I easily whopped 3 off within 45 minutes.

Any chance of me getting one. This will be my first foray into unpowered gliding or soaring. Please, please please. Been away from the computer for the past week and missed out on the nano falcon orders. Well let me know.
Go back in one piece to fly another day. Having fun yet?
