I've moved on to another project Bob, It looks fantastic! I completely understand. For me I have always wanted to build an airplane.... I am not a pilot and have little desire to be one but... its the building part that interests me. (LOL) I hope the FWD finds an excellent home and I can't wait to see what your next project is. Well done! Best regards, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
